A further difficulty was now declared. The man who first doubted himself and then doubted because of his ignorance of God now doubted because of the people to whom he was to be sent. God had told him that the people would hearken, but now he questioned this. All fear of man is evidence of feeble faith in God. In the presence of such fear what we need is clearer vision of God.

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 4:27-31

Exodus 4:27 f. E. Exodus 4:29-Obadiah : J. Aaron meets Moses, and together they meet the elders of Israel. Exodus 4:27 f.

In Exodus 4:30 a read, “ And he (Moses) did the... read more

Chapter 4And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me ( Exodus 4:1 ),Now he's not convinced. They're gonna say, "Who sent you?" "All right", God said, "Tell them Jehovah God, the God of your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob". But Moses objects, "They'll not believe me"nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, Oh Jehovah didn't appear to you. The Lord said, What have you got in your hand? And he said, A rod.
