← PreviousChapterNext →Read this passage
Exodus 3:15 is part of this passage.
15God said moreover to Moses, “You shall tell the children of Israel this, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations. 16Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and tell them, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt. 17I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.”’ 18They will listen to your voice. You shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall tell him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD, our God.’ 19I know that the king of Egypt won’t give you permission to go, no, not by a mighty hand. 20I will reach out my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do among them, and after that he will let you go. 21I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed. 22But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who visits her house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing. You shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. You shall plunder the Egyptians.”

Interpretation

In Exodus 3:15-22, God said moreover to Moses, “You shall tell the children of Israel this, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has… The narrator wants us to see God’s redeeming ways in real history. Listen to the text: “God said moreover to Moses, “You shall tell the children of Israel this, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever,…”

This passage advances the story of the God who brought Israel out of bondage to Himself. Watch what God says and does, and how human faith or fear answers Him.

At the burning bush the LORD calls Moses, reveals Himself as the God of the fathers and as I AM, and sends him to bring Israel out of Egypt. In the opening movement, oppression rises, God hears, and a deliverer is called. This passage belongs in that movement: Exodus 3:15-22 is not an isolated anecdote but a step in God’s unfolding purpose. The book trains faith to trust the God who fights for His people, speaks from the mountain, and forgives after failure.

A pastoral word for today: Respond with concrete faith: speak to God about what you see, then take one obedient step.

Notice the pastoral patience of Exodus. God works across plagues, wilderness days, and stubborn hearts. The book trains hurried people to trust slow providence and keep walking toward worship. Let Exodus 3:15-22 slow your pace enough to watch God carefully.

As you sit with Exodus 3:15-22, ask what it shows you about the God who redeems, commands, and dwells with His people. Exodus is not only ancient national memory; it is living Scripture that forms faith, repentance, and worship. Let the text steady your trust in the LORD’s faithful character.
