God Calls You by Name

Commentators emphasize the personal nature of God's call. By repeating "Moses, Moses," God showed urgency, familiarity, and a deep personal interest. This serves as a powerful reminder that God knows His people individually and calls them by name into relationship and service, inviting the response, "Here am I."
