And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD’s hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
And the LORD said to Moses, 'Has the LORD's power grown weak? You will see right now whether my promise will come true or not.'
God is challenging Moses' doubt by asking if His power has somehow become limited, promising that Moses will soon see God's word fulfilled.
📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Numbers, the Israelites were wandering in the wilderness after their exodus from Egypt, grumbling about the monotonous manna God provided as food and yearning for the variety they had in Egypt. Moses, feeling overwhelmed by the people's complaints and the burden of leadership, cried out to God for help, doubting how he could meet their needs. God responded to Moses' lack of faith by affirming His unlimited power and assuring him that His promises would be fulfilled.
