In Exodus 6, Moses continues to speak with God, expressing his concerns about the Israelites’ lack of faith and their continued suffering under Egyptian oppression. God reassures Moses that He will fulfill His covenant with the Israelites and deliver them from bondage. He emphasizes that He is the Lord and will free His people with great acts of judgment, demonstrating His power to both the Israelites and the Egyptians.
God instructs Moses to relay His message to the Israelites, but they are too disheartened to listen due to their harsh living conditions. Moses, feeling inadequate, questions his ability to persuade Pharaoh to release the Israelites. However, God reaffirms His choice of Moses and Aaron as His representatives and assures them of success.
The chapter concludes by providing a genealogical account of the Levites, tracing the lineage of Moses and Aaron. It lists their ancestors and highlights their roles in leading the Israelites out of Egypt.
