‏ Exodus 6:29

Command Repeated and Objection Repeated

After the interruption for the genealogies the writer takes up the thread in Exo 6:28 to continue the conversation between the LORD and Moses. When the LORD has made it clear who belongs to Him and who will go to Pharaoh on His behalf, there will be a repetition of the command to go back to Pharaoh (Exo 6:29; Exo 6:11) and a repetition of the objection of Moses (Exo 6:30; Exo 6:12).

Before the LORD gives the command again, He says for the third time in this chapter: “I am the LORD” (Exo 6:2 ; 6 ; 29). This is the Name by virtue of which He will now act. The battle between the LORD and Pharaoh can begin. Moses’ objection that he is unskilled in speech is answered by the LORD in the next chapter.
