It marks a transition from promise to action, highlighting God's imminent intervention.

The focus is on God's power and initiative, not on human effort. The historical context here is significant, as Pharaoh represents the epitome of earthly power and opposition to God's will.

This serves as a powerful reminder of God's ability to turn the hearts of even the most resistant leaders, showcasing His ultimate control over human affairs.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/6.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>VI.GOD'S RENEWAL AND ENLARGEMENT OF HIS PROMISES.(1) Now shalt thou see.--Moses' complaint was that God delayed, and "was slack as concerning His promise." Hitherto He had not "delivered His people at all." The answer,"Now shalt thou see," is an assurance that there will be no more delay; the work is just about to begin, and Moses will behold it. He will then cease to doubt.With a strong hand shall he let them go.--Rather, through a strong hand: i.e., through the compulsion which my strong hand will exert on him,Drive them.--Comp. <a href="/context/exodus/12-31.htm" title="And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as you have said.">Exodus 12:31-33</a>.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/6.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 1. - Now shalt thou see. There was encouragement in the very word "now." Moses' complaint was, that God delayed his coming, would not show himself, was "slack concerning his promise." In reply he is told that there is to be no longer any delay - the work is just about to commence. "Now shalt thou see." With a strong hand shall he let them go. The "strong hand" is not Pharaoh's, but God's. "By means of my strong hand" (or "overpowering might") "laid upon him shall he be induced to let them go," and similarly with the other clause. Drive them out. This phrase well expresses the final anxiety of Pharaoh to be rid of the Israelites.
