ציטאַט אויף שמות 3:11

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר מֹשֶׁה֙ אֶל־הָ֣אֱלֹהִ֔ים מִ֣י אָנֹ֔כִי כִּ֥י אֵלֵ֖ךְ אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֑ה וְכִ֥י אוֹצִ֛יא אֶת־בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מִמִּצְרָֽיִם׃

האָט משה געזאָגט צו גאָט: װער בין איך, אַז איך זאָל גײן צו פַּרעהן, און אַז איך זאָל אַרױסציען די קינדער פֿון ישׂראל פֿון מִצרַיִם?

...And Moshe said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and free the Israelites from Egypt?”At first it appears that the wording is redundant, as Rashi also felt. Also the verse, “And [God] said, ‘I will be with you; that shall be your sign that it was I who sent you. And when you have freed the people from Egypt, you shall worship God at this mountain,’” is not clear at first for the Blessed Name gave as a sign something that will only happen later. Rashi explained this nicely.

Turning to what Moses our Teacher of blessed memory said: “Who am I that I should go…” Moses was the most humble person and lowly in his own eyes. He asked, how is it possible that I can attain this level and that I will bring the Israelites out of Egypt. Even if I were to attain the level of going to Pharaoh, how would I be worthy of taking them out. God replied, “Because I will be with you. And the sign is that when you take them out…you will worship Me…” It is a good sign for a person who hears through books about the virtues of the righteous and their holy service for the Blessed Name in truth if, at the same time, the heart yearns and burns intensely in wanting to also merit to serve God in truth. This is a good indication that the Name is with the person and that this is God’s word. This is, “And this will be a sign for you,” that when I say to you “When you take them out…you will worship me at this mountain,” this will be a sign. If your heart still burns and is excited to serve Me when you hear this, then through this you will know that I am with you.
