Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
Come now therefore, and I will send thee--Considering the patriotic views that had formerly animated the breast of Moses, we might have anticipated that no mission could have been more welcome to his heart than to be employed in the national emancipation of Israel. But he evinced great reluctance to it and stated a variety of objections [Exo 3:11, Exo 3:13; Exo 4:1, Exo 4:10] all of which were successfully met and removed--and the happy issue of his labors was minutely described. Next: Exodus Chapter 4
John Gill Bible Commentary
Come now therefore,..... Leave thy flock, thy family, and the land of Midian: and I will send thee unto Pharaoh: this Pharaoh, according to Eusebius, was Cenchres, the successor of Achoris; but according to Bishop Usher (u), his name was Amenophis, who immediately succeeded Ramesses Miamun, under whom Moses was born. Clemens of Alexandria (w) relates from Apion, and he, from Ptolemy Mendesius, that it was in the times of Amosis that Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt; but Tacitus (x) says, the name of this king was Bocchoris, who obliged them to go out, being advised by an oracle to do so; and so says Lysimachus (y): that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt; and conduct them through the wilderness to the land of Canaan, and so be their deliverer, guide, and governor under God, who now gave him a commission to act for him. (u) Annal. Vet. Test. p. 19. (w) Stromat. l. 1. p. 320. (x) Hist. l. 5. c. 3. (y) Apud Joseph. contr. Apion, l. 1. c. 34.

3:10 God would act compassionately to save his suffering people, but it would be through a human agency. Often God is known among us because of the way his people carry out his will.

The Man Who Built the Tabernacle
By George Warnock0Waiting On GodDivine PreparationEXO 3:10EXO 33:11HEB 11:24George Warnock emphasizes the importance of waiting on God to understand His ways, using Moses as an example of how true preparation often requires time and humility. At 40, Moses was eager to deliver Israel but faced disappointment, leading him to a 40-year period of learning in the wilderness. This time taught him about his inadequacies and the necessity of relying on God rather than his own strength. Ultimately, at 80, Moses returned to Egypt not as a prince but as a humble shepherd, equipped by God to lead His people and receive the divine blueprint for the Tabernacle. This journey illustrates that God's timing and preparation are essential for fulfilling His purposes.
