13 placed himself in the first category of leaders - those without any special qualities of their own, just the willingness to organize and govern the people. God, however, had promised a dramatic redemption, a quantum leap in the people s spiritual elevation, when He said I will surely raise up (B'reishit 46:4). Clearly, God had intended that a charismatic leader would inspire and ennoble the people. Like the son-in-law in the parable, Moshe objected to God s choice of leader. The King had promised a lady of high caliber - a great and inspiring leader. But He had only provided a lowly maid-servant - Moshe, a competent but unremarkable public servant. Therefore, God explained to Moshe, I will be with you. With the sublime powers that I bestow upon you, you will be able to uplift the people to a level beyond their current reach. In this way, I will fulfill My promise to them. And God continued: the proof that you will be the catalyst for profound change is that the people will stand on Mount Sinai. In order to merit receiving the Torah, the Jewish people will need to be on the highest spiritual level. If that was not the case, the Torah could have been revealed to an earlier generation. The fact that the Jewish people would stand at Mount Sinai was proof that Moshe would in fact be the second type of leader, dramatically readying them for this historic moment. R e a d y f o r t h e K e h u n a a n d t h e K i n g s h i p This explanation helps us understand a difficult Midrash. When God first revealed Himself to Moshe in the burning bush, Moshe responded, 'Hineini' - Here I am. Or perhaps, I am ready. The Midrash explains that Moshe was saying, I am ready for the kehuna and the kingship. These aspirations, however, were not to be. The kehuna had already been designated to Aharon, and the kingship to David.
