Exodus 4:1 And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice: for they will say… 1. Because he knew that they were a stiff-necked people. 2. Because he considered himself of insufficient authority to command their respect. 3. Because the power and tyranny of Pharaoh would deter them from believing him. 4. Because they would think it unlikely that God, who had never been seen by man, should appear to him. (J. S. Exell, M. A.)
