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.

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 <span class="accented">that</span>, <span class="accented">as</span> 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 (<a href="/exodus/4-10.htm">Exodus 4:10</a>).
