I am working on a sermon over Exodus 3:13-22
Is there any connection between Moses stating in verse 11, "Who am I"
And God stating in verse 13, "I am who I am"?
I don't want to pull something out that isn't there, but I'm wondering if the two verses are standing as a contrast. I don't know Hebrew, so I can't go back to the language to see.

Exodus 3:11-14 11 But Moses said to God, "(a)Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?" 12 And He said, "Certainly (a)I will be with you, and this shall be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: (b)when you have brought the people out of Egypt, (c)you shall (1)worship God at this mountain." 13 Then Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?" 14 God said to Moses, "(1a)I AM WHO (1)I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, '(1)I AM has sent me to you.'"
