Exodus 3:12

"Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”"

Key Reflection

Moses expresses his humility and doubts about his role as a leader by questioning his own worthiness, reflecting the common human struggle with self-doubt even in the face of divine callings. This moment underscores the theme that even great prophets feel unworthy, highlighting the reliance on God's power rather than one’s own.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

A token unto thee -Or the sign. The word means a declaration or promise of God, which rests absolutely on His word, and demands faith. The promise that God would have the people serve Him in that place was an assurance, if fully believed, that all intervening obstacles would be removed by His power.
