So
The word "So" serves as a conjunction, linking the previous narrative with the current instruction. It indicates a continuation of God's communication with Moses. In the broader context of Exodus, this conjunction ties back to the preceding verses where God reassures Moses of His covenant with Israel. It emphasizes the ongoing nature of God's plan and His active involvement in the deliverance of His people.

the LORD
The term "the LORD" is a translation of the Hebrew name Yahweh, which is the personal and covenantal name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). This name signifies God's eternal existence and His faithfulness to His promises. In the conservative Christian perspective, Yahweh is seen as the unchanging and sovereign God who is intimately involved in the lives of His people. The use of this name here underscores the authority and reliability of the message being delivered to Moses.

said
The verb "said" indicates direct communication from God to Moses. In the Hebrew text, the word used is "אָמַר" (amar), which is a common verb for speaking or declaring. This highlights the personal and direct nature of God's revelation to His chosen leader. It is a reminder that God speaks to His people, providing guidance and instruction. The conservative Christian view holds that God's word is authoritative and trustworthy, and His communication with Moses is a model of how God interacts with His people.

to Moses
Moses is the central human figure in the book of Exodus, chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage. His name, derived from the Hebrew "מֹשֶׁה" (Moshe), is traditionally understood to mean "drawn out," reflecting his rescue from the Nile River as an infant. Moses' role as a prophet and leader is pivotal in the narrative of Israel's deliverance. In this verse, the direct address to Moses signifies his unique position as God's spokesperson and mediator between God and the Israelites. From a conservative Christian perspective, Moses is seen as a type of Christ, foreshadowing the ultimate deliverer who would lead God's people to spiritual freedom.

Verses 10-12. - The Israelites having shown themselves, for the time, unimpressible, God commands Moses to make his next effort upon the Pharaoh. He is to enter into his presence once more, and demand, without circumlocution or obscurity, that the Israelites be allowed to quit the land (ver. 11). Moses, however, demurs. He had done God's will with respect to the people readily and at once, expecting that, as he had persuaded them before, so he would a second time. But he had been disappointed; the people had refused to listen to him. Immediately all his original self-distrust and diffidence recurred - even the old form of diffidence, distrust of his ability to persuade men (Exodus 4:10). How shall he expect to persuade Pharaoh, who had already rejected him (Exodus 5:2-5), when he bad just failed with his own countrymen, who previously had "believed" his report (Exodus 4:31)?
