SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:11
¶ Entonces Moisés respondió a Dios: ¿Quién soy yo, para que vaya al Faraón, y saque de Egipto a los hijos de Israel?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 3:11
Verse 11. Who am I-that I should bring] He was so satisfied that this was beyond his power, and all the means that he possessed, that he is astonished that even God himself should appoint him to this work! Such indeed was the bondage of the children of Israel, and the power of the people by whom they were enslaved, that had not their deliverance come through supernatural means, their escape had been utterly impossible.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-15 - Formerly Moses thought himself able to deliver Israel, and set himsel to the work too hastily. Now, when the fittest person on earth for it he knows his own weakness. This was the effect of more knowledge of God and of himself. Formerly, self-confidence mingled with strong faith an great zeal, now sinful distrust of God crept in under the garb of humility; so defective are the strongest graces and the best duties of the most eminent saints. But all objections are answered in, Certainl I will be with thee. That is enough. Two names God would now be know by. A name that denotes what he is in himself, I AM THAT I AM. Thi explains his name Jehovah, and signifies, 1. That he is self-existent he has his being of himself. 2. That he is eternal and unchangeable and always the same, yesterday, to-day, and for ever. 3. That he is incomprehensible; we cannot by searching find him out: this name check all bold and curious inquiries concerning God. 4. That he is faithfu and true to all his promises, unchangeable in his word as well as in his nature; let Israel know this, I AM hath sent me unto you. I am, an there is none else besides me. All else have their being from God, an are wholly dependent upon him. Also, here is a name that denotes what God is to his people. The Lord God of your fathers sent me unto you Moses must revive among them the religion of their fathers, which wa almost lost; and then they might expect the speedy performance of the promises made unto their fathers.
