3:6
Whatever circumstances we are going through, God can appear in the midst of them, and the place can become “holy ground”. God begins by reminding Moses that He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. All God’s actions go back to the covenant He had made with Abraham, and had reaffirmed to Isaac and Jacob. For many years the Israelites had been living under increasing oppression. Now things were going to change.
3:7
“I know their sufferings”. The Lord knew what was going on in Egypt to His people. Now the Israelites were not exactly a perfect people, this is a constant message throughout the Bible. We have already seen plenty of examples of “imperfection”, to put it mildly, throughout Genesis, and we will see many more. But they are His people, and God cares for them. Our God is a God who saves sinful people.
