The Lord God of the Hebrews. — Heb., Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews. On the first application made to him by Moses and Aaron, Pharaoh had professed not to know who Jehovah was (Exodus 5:2). To prevent his again doing so, Moses is ordered to give both name and title.

Hath sent me — Rather, sent me.

Let my people go. — Comp. Exodus 5:1. The reference is to Moses’ first appearance before Pharaoh, and the message then delivered.

Thou wouldest not hear. — Rather, thou hast not heard: i.e., thou hast not obeyed.
