פירוש על שמות 3:11

מי אנכי WHO AM I? — Of what importance am I that I should speak with monarchs?

ויאמר משה מי אנכי?, anyone who wants to truly understand the plain meaning of this sequence will heed my exegesis carefully. My predecessors were quite wrong. Moses replied to two things G’d had requested from him. He had been asked to go to Pharaoh, and he had been asked to take the Jewish people out of Egypt at Pharaoh’s command. In respect of G’d’s first instruction he answered:

מי אנכי כי אלך?, how will my warning be effective?
