23

The LORD said to Moses, “Has the LORD’s hand grown short? Now you will see whether my word will happen to you or not.”

ExplanationCommentary
EXPLANATION

Verse 23. Unable: Hebrew “shortened.” Septuagint “insufficient.” Moses had expresed his astonishment, not his doubts; though the words might convey the latter idea to us more than his behaviour in Calmet. 20:10. But God sees the heart.—To pass. Hebrew may be also, “hath called thee;” ( Calmet.) Septuagint “shall come upon thee,” and execute the thing, as soon as thou shalt promise it. Bible.
