They Are Your People
Commentators highlight Moses' bold response to God. When God referred to the Israelites as Moses' people, Moses immediately reframed the situation, reminding God, "they are Your people." This wasn't disrespect, but a powerful appeal based on the covenant. Moses insists that God is bound by His own promises and relationship to Israel, providing a model for prayer that is rooted in God's own character and commitments.
