Abstract

Ex 5,22-6.1 presents Moses appealing to the Lord (vv. 22-23) and God's answer to the prophet (Ex 6,1). Moses' prayer is configured as a cry of despair stemming from a bewilderment of his vocation as a promoter of liberty, subdued by human conditions. The prophet of failure is paradoxical, since it reveals both as a personal and divine failure. For these reasons, Moses has faith put to the test. His reaction shown by a fiery prayer and full of fervor. God responds with the renewal of the promise of liberation (Ex 6,1).
