Contextual Overview

15The LORD said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the Israelites to go forward.16And as for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. 17And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. Then I will gain honor by means of Pharaoh and all his army and chariots and horsemen. 18The Egyptians will know that I am the LORD when I am honored through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen." 19Then the Angel of God, who had gone before the camp of Israel, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from before them and stood behind them, 20so that it came between the camps of Egypt and Israel. The cloud was there in the darkness, but it lit up the night. So all night long neither camp went near the other.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

¿Por qué me clamas? - Moisés no habla de su intercesión, y sólo sabemos de ella por esta respuesta a su oración.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verso Éxodo 14:15. ¿Por qué clamas a mí?  No escuchamos ni una palabra de la oración de Moisés, y sin embargo, aquí el Señor le pregunta por qué clama a él. De lo cual podemos aprender que el corazón de Moisés estaba profundamente comprometido con Dios, aunque es probable que no articule una palabra; pero el lenguaje de suspiros, lágrimas y deseos es igualmente inteligible para Dios con el de palabras . Esta consideración debe ser un fuerte estímulo para toda mente débil y desanimada: no puedes rezar , pero puedes llorar ; si incluso lágrimas se te niegan, (porque puede haber un arrepentimiento profundo y genuino, donde la angustia es tan grande que obstruye esos canales de alivio), entonces puedes suspirar ; y Dios, cuyo Espíritu te ha convencido así del pecado, la justicia y el juicio, conoce tus indecibles gemidos y lee el inexpresable deseo de tu alma agobiada, un deseo del cual él mismo es el autor, y que ha soplado en tu corazón con el propósito de satisfacerlo.
