What does Exodus 6:11 mean?

While discouraged after his first encounter with Pharaoh (Exodus 5:1–3, 6–9, 22–23), Moses had re-mained faithful to the Lord. The people were too beaten down to hear encouragement (Exodus 6:9). Yet the Lord is not done with His work (Exodus 3:19–20). God repeats His demand that Pharaoh release the people of Israel, instructing Mo-ses to pass it along to the Egyptian king. This is no small request. Pharaoh has not only denied it once before, but he spite-fully made the Hebrews' lives even harder (Exodus 5:15–19). Moses is testing the patience of an extremely powerful man.

Moses will begin with some of the signs given to him by God (Exodus 4:1–7), but these will also be rejected (Exodus 7:8–12). This will lead to the first of the ten great plagues: turning the Nile river into blood (Exodus 7:14–19).
