RAV KOOK ON PARSHAT SHEMOT PART 2 MOSES' MISTAKE

Appearing in a burning bush, God charged Moses with the task of leading the Jewish people out of Egypt. Moses, however, had doubts about the feasibility of the mission: "They will not believe me and they will not listen to me, because they will say, 'God did not appear to you.'" (Ex. 4:1) In fact, Moses was wrong. The Hebrew slaves did believe him. Why did Moses doubt God's plan? How could the 'master of all prophets' so gravely misjudge his own people?
