The Call of Moses
3:1 to 4:17

One thing God knew was that it was time to raise up a deliverer – Moshe. Accordingly, the narrative now focuses on that single man. Exodus 2 has shown us that God had already begun to act upon Isra’el’s grim circumstances by rising up a deliverer in Pharaoh’s court. That deliverer was Moses and he was forced to flee to Midian for a further period of preparation because the deliverance of the Hebrews from Egypt was about to happen. God was clearly at work behind the scenes, guiding and directing everything for His purposes. The next step in the exodus of Isra’el now occurs, the call and commissioning of Moses.36 ADONAI knew that he was ready, although Moses wasn’t quite so sure.
