| Moshe said to Hashem, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Children of Israel out of Egypt?" (Shemos 3:11).
Rashi explains this verse: Moshe is essentially asking, "What significance do I have in speaking with kings?" Furthermore, he questions, "Even if I am significant, what merit do the Israelites have that would warrant a miracle for them, enabling me to take them out of Egypt?"
There seems to be a contradiction in Moshe's statements. On one hand, he expresses doubt about his importance in speaking with kings. On the other hand, he acknowledges that he might still be considered important. Does Moshe see himself as unimportant or as significant?
Perhaps we can understand this by noting that Moshe was "the humblest man on the face of the earth" (BaMidbar 12:3). He viewed himself as insignificant. However, when Hashem, the King of the universe, spoke to him, it became clear to Moshe that he was important in Hashem's eyes, which validated his self-worth. As a result, Moshe developed a more accurate sense of his own value.
Today: We can reflect on how Hashem's communication with Moshe validated his self-worth. Consider Moshe's journey from low self-esteem to a realistic understanding of his value. Remember that you are created in the "image of Hashem," which instills a profound sense of self-worth within your soul.
Note: We learned that Klal Yisrael suffered under Egyptian bondage as a result of speaking Lashon Hara. In today’s world, we are constantly exposed to social media and news broadcasts, where Lashon Hara is widespread. We would love to hear from our subscribers: What practical steps can we take to address and rectify this issue in our own lives and communities? Thank you for your valuable insights and support! |
