Context — God Promises Deliverance
7I will take you as My own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.
8And I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD!’”
9Moses relayed this message to the Israelites, but on account of their broken spirit and cruel bondage, they did not listen to him.

Exodus 6:9 Summary
[Exodus 6:9 tells us that the Israelites were so sad and tired from being treated cruelly by the Egyptians that they couldn't even listen to Moses' message of hope and deliverance. This is similar to how we might feel when we're going through a tough time and can't see a way out. But God's promise to the Israelites, as stated in Exodus 6:7-8, is that He will be their God and deliver them from their bondage. We can also find comfort in God's promises to us, such as in Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:28, which remind us that He has a plan to prosper us and give us hope for the future.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the Israelites not listen to Moses in Exodus 6:9?
The Israelites did not listen to Moses because of their broken spirit and cruel bondage, as stated in Exodus 6:9. This is similar to the emotional state of the Israelites in Deuteronomy 1:19-22, where they were also afraid and did not trust God.
What was the message that Moses relayed to the Israelites in Exodus 6:9?
The message that Moses relayed to the Israelites was the promise of God to deliver them from their bondage and bring them into the land that He swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as stated in Exodus 6:7-8. This promise is also mentioned in Genesis 15:18-21 and repeated in other parts of the Bible, such as Leviticus 26:42-45.
How does Exodus 6:9 relate to the concept of spiritual blindness?
Exodus 6:9 illustrates the concept of spiritual blindness, where people are unable to see or hear the truth due to their emotional or spiritual state. This is similar to the concept described in 2 Corinthians 4:4, where Satan blinds the minds of unbelievers to the truth of the gospel.
What can we learn from the Israelites' response to Moses in Exodus 6:9?
We can learn from the Israelites' response that our emotional and spiritual state can affect our ability to hear and respond to God's message. This is why it's essential to cultivate a strong and trusting relationship with God, as encouraged in Psalms 23:4 and Proverbs 3:5-6.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I can cultivate a stronger trust in God, especially in times of difficulty or hardship?
- How can I recognize and overcome spiritual blindness in my own life, and what role does God's Word play in this process?
- What are some promises of God that I can hold onto, especially when I feel overwhelmed or discouraged, and how can I apply them to my life?
- In what ways can I be more sensitive to the emotional and spiritual state of those around me, and how can I help them to hear and respond to God's message?
Gill's Exposition on Exodus 6:9
And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel,.... After this manner, and in the above words, declaring all that the Lord made known to him, and promised to do for them; which one would have thought
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 6:9
And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage. Moses spake.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 6:9
Their minds were so oppressed with their present burdens and future expectations, that they could not believe nor hope for any deliverance, but deemed it impossible; and having been once deceived in their hopes, they now quite despaired, and thought their entertainment of new hopes, or use of further endeavours, would make their condition worse, as it had done.
Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 6:9
Exodus 6:9 And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.Ver. 9. But they hearkened not.] The ear, which tastes words as the mouth doth meat, was so filled with choler, that they could relish no comfort. It is ill sowing in a storm, giving physic in a fever fit. The easiest medicines or waters are troublesome to sore eyes: so here. Quicquid recipitur, recipitur ad modum recipientis.
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 6:9
(9) They hearkened not.—The second message was received in quite a different spirit from the first. Then “the people believed, and bowed their knees and worshipped” (Exodus 4:31). Now they could not even be induced to listen. But there is nothing strange in this. The reason is obvious. The first announcement of coming deliverance elated them with a hope to which they had been long strangers. Their spirits sprang to the message, and readily accepted it. But now they had been chilled by disappointment. The only result of their leader’s interference hitherto had been to increase their misery (Exodus 4:7-23). They had therefore lost heart, and could trust him no longer.
Anguish of spirit.—Heb., shortness of breath. (Comp. Job 21:4.) The expression points to extreme lassitude and depression.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 6:9
Verse 9. But they hearkened not] Their bondage was become so extremely oppressive that they had lost all hope of ever being redeemed from it. After this verse the Samaritan adds, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians: for it is better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness. This appears to be borrowed from Exodus 14:12. Anguish of spirit] קצר רוח kotzer ruach, shortness of spirit or breath. The words signify that their labour was so continual, and their bondage so cruel and oppressive, that they had scarcely time to breathe.
Cambridge Bible on Exodus 6:9
9. Moses communicates the Divine message to the Israelites; but they are too much disheartened and demoralized by their sufferings to pay heed to it, or credit it. hearkened not] according to Exodus 4:31 (J), the people listened to Moses gladly. for impatience] the marg. is right; promises of deliverance had no meaning for them; they repelled them with impatience. See, with the corresponding verb or adj., Job 21:4 RV., Proverbs 14:29 b Heb., Micah 2:7 RVm.; and with ‘soul’ for ‘spirit,’ Numbers 21:4 RVm., Judges 10:16 Heb. Judges 16:16 Heb. The opposite is ‘long of spirit,’ i.e. patient, Job 6:11 RV. (lit. ‘make long my spirit’), Ecclesiastes 7:8. cruel (lit. hard) bondage] The same expression which in Exodus 1:14 (see the note) is rendered hard service (where slaves are referred to, ‘service’ and ‘bondage’ are naturally identical).
Barnes' Notes on Exodus 6:9
They hearkened not - The contrast between the reception of this communication and that recorded in Exodus 4:31 is accounted for by the change of circumstances.
