Explanatory Note

Moses’ reply points to God’s Lordship over the entire visible universe and all that there is in it: “[Moses] answered: He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if you want to be sure.” Thus, his answer refutes Pharaoh’s denial, rendering it worthless. He tells him that God is the Lord of the entire universe which neither Pharaoh’s power nor his knowledge can ever reach. The utmost that Pharaoh can boast of is that he is a deity over the people of the Nile Valley and its overall lord. But then this is a tiny little particle when compared to the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. We discern in Moses’ answer his dismissal of Pharaoh’s claims as vain boasts, turning his attention to the vast universe, inviting him to contemplate its size and the One who is Lord over it all. That is certainly the Lord of all the worlds.

He concludes his answer with a comment inviting the people to work for the achievement of certainty: “If you want to be sure.”
