God is calling Moses to go to Pharaoh and lead the Israelites out of their slavery in Egypt.

📚 Historical Context

This verse occurs during Moses' encounter with God at the burning bush on Mount Horeb. The Israelites had been enslaved in Egypt for hundreds of years, and God was now choosing Moses to be their deliverer. Moses had fled Egypt forty years earlier after killing an Egyptian taskmaster, making this calling both unexpected and daunting.
