In the context of Exodus, God frequently speaks to Moses, establishing him as the chosen leader to deliver the Israelites from Egyptian bondage. This communication underscores the covenant relationship between God and His people, as Moses acts as an intermediary. The use of "LORD" in all capitals signifies the translation of the Hebrew name Yahweh, which is the personal and covenantal name of God, highlighting His eternal and self-existent nature. This moment is part of a larger narrative where God reassures Moses of His promises, despite Moses' earlier doubts and the Israelites' suffering. Theologically, this can be seen as a type of Christ, who is the ultimate mediator between God and humanity, as seen in 1 Timothy 2:5. Persons / Places / Events 1. The LORD (Yahweh)The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who reveals Himself to Moses and the Israelites as the one true God. He is the central figure in the account, orchestrating the deliverance of His people from Egypt. 2. MosesThe chosen leader and prophet of Israel, tasked with confronting Pharaoh and leading the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage. Moses is a key figure in the unfolding of God's redemptive plan. 3. Pharaoh (implied context)The ruler of Egypt, who is resistant to God's command to let the Israelites go. Pharaoh's hardened heart becomes a backdrop for God's display of power and sovereignty. 4. Israelites (implied context)The descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who are enslaved in Egypt. They are the recipients of God's promises and the focus of His deliverance. 5. Egypt (implied context)The land of bondage for the Israelites, representing a place of oppression and idolatry from which God intends to deliver His people.

13.Why does God kill Uzzah instantly for touching the Ark to prevent it from falling (2 Samuel 6:7)?
14.What does anthropopathism mean?What Does Exodus 6:10 Mean So• “So” links directly back toExodus 6:2-9, where the LORD reaffirmed His covenant to deliver Israel. • It marks a turning point from God’s reassurance to fresh instruction, underscoring that divine encouragement is always matched by divine action (cf.Exodus 3:7-10;Acts 7:34). • The word reminds us that God’s plans unfold in orderly sequence—never random, always purposeful (Romans 8:28).
the LORD• “the LORD” (YHWH) is God’s covenant name, emphasizing His self-existence and faithfulness (Exodus 3:14-15;Malachi 3:6). • Because the speaker is the unchanging LORD, His words carry absolute authority and certainty (Numbers 23:19). • His covenant faithfulness guarantees that what follows is not mere advice but the unfolding of His sovereign will (Psalm 33:11).
said• God speaks; He does not act silently. His verbal revelation drives history forward (Genesis 1:3;Isaiah 55:10-11). • When the LORD “said,” the verb signals fresh revelation—guidance suited to Moses’ present discouragement (Exodus 6:9). • Every directive from God is living and active, effecting what it commands (Hebrews 4:12).
to Moses• God addresses Moses personally, confirming him as the chosen mediator (Exodus 3:10-12;Deuteronomy 34:10-12). • The divine-human relationship is intimate: the LORD speaks “face to face” with Moses (Exodus 33:11), modeling how He yearns to commune with His people. • Moses’ role illustrates that God employs faithful servants to execute His redemptive plan (1 Samuel 12:6;Hebrews 3:5).
summaryExodus 6:10, though brief—“So the LORD said to Moses,”—packs profound truth. The connecting “So” roots the command in God’s prior covenant promise. “the LORD” assures us the speaker is the faithful, unchanging God. “said” highlights the power and reliability of divine speech. “to Moses” confirms God’s choice of a human agent to carry out His salvation purposes. Together, these words assure us that the covenant-keeping LORD speaks with authority and intimacy, moving His redemptive plan forward through obedient servants. Verses 10-12. - The Israelites having shown themselves, for the time, unimpressible, God commands Moses to make his next effort upon the Pharaoh. He is to enter into his presence once more, and demand, without circumlocution or obscurity, that the Israelites be allowed to quit the land (ver. 11). Moses, however, demurs. He had done God's will with respect to the people readily and at once, expecting that, as he had persuaded them before, so he would a second time. But he had been disappointed; the people had refused to listen to him. Immediately all his original self-distrust and diffidence recurred - even the old form of diffidence, distrust of his ability to persuade men ( Exodus 4:10). How shall he expect to persuade Pharaoh, who had already rejected him ( Exodus 5:2-5), when he bad just failed with his own countrymen, who previously had "believed" his report ( Exodus 4:31)?
