  2. Explication du texte

Why did the Israelites not listen to Moses?

Exode 6:9 (NEG79)

9 Ainsi parla Moïse aux enfants d'Israël. Mais l'angoisse et la dure servitude les empêchèrent d'écouter Moïse.

Moses proclaims God’s Word to the people, but the people do not listen.

This is in line with Exodus 5:21, where Moses is blamed for the fact that their work as slaves has only become harder. Contrary to what it showed in Exodus 4:31 (they believed), they have no trust in the promises (and the oath!) of God.
