Éxodo 6:11 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 6:11

Go in
Into Pharaoh's palace, and into his presence, to whom access seems not to be very difficult; and perhaps access to princes was not attended with so much ceremony then as it now is:

speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt;
though a king, and a king of so large a country as Egypt, yet do not be afraid to speak to him; speak to him plainly and boldly, not in a supplicatory, but in an authoritative way, in the name of the King of kings:

that he let the children of Israel go out of his land;
this demand had been made before, but was rejected with an haughty air, and now it is repeated, before the Lord proceeds to punish him for his disobedience, that his judgments upon him might appear more manifestly to be just and right.

Éxodo 6:11 In-Context

9 Moisés les dio a conocer esto a los israelitas, pero por su desánimo y las penurias de su esclavitud ellos no le hicieron caso.

10 Entonces el SEÑOR habló con Moisés y le dijo:

11 —Ve y habla con el faraón, el rey de Egipto. Dile que deje salir de su país a los israelitas.

12 Pero Moisés se enfrentó al SEÑOR y le dijo:—¿Y cómo va a hacerme caso el faraón, si ni siquiera los israelitas me creen? Además, no tengo facilidad de palabra.

13 En otra ocasión el SEÑOR habló con Moisés y Aarón acerca de los israelitas y del faraón, rey egipcio, y les ordenó sacar de Egipto a los israelitas.
