Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 3:9-11

"And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: moreover I have seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?"God here flatly proposed to Moses that Moses himself should lead the people up out of Egypt,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 3:1-12

Horeb is another name for Sinai (Exodus 3:1). It probably indicates a range of mountains rather than a particular mountain peak. The writer called it "the mountain of God" because it was the place where God later gave the Mosaic Law to Israel. The traditional site of Mt. Sinai and the Horeb range is in the southern Sinai Peninsula. However some Scripture references cast this location into question (cf. Deuteronomy 33:2; Galatians 4:25). These references suggest that the site may have been... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 3:1-22

The Call of Moses and his Commission to be the Deliverer of Israel1. Horeb] The names Horeb and Sinai seem to be synonymous, though it has been suggested that Horeb is the name given to the entire mountain range, while Sinai denotes the particular mountain where the Law was given. Assuming that the Pentateuch is composed of different documents, it is better to believe that Horeb is the name used by one set of writers and Sinai by another. Horeb is here called the mountain of God by... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Exodus 3:1-22

Exodus 3:2 It is the office and function of the imagination to renew life in lights and sounds and emotions that are outworn and familiar. It calls the soul back once more under the dead ribs of nature, and makes the meanest bush burn again, as it did to Moses, with the visible presence of God. J. Russell Lowell. References. III. 2. A.

5CHAPTER III.THE BURNING BUSH.Exodus 2:23 - Exodus 3:1-22"In process of time the king of Egypt died," probably the great Raamses, no other of whose dynasty had a reign which extended over the indicated period of time. If so, he had while living every reason to expect an immortal fame, as the greatest among Egyptian kings, a hero, a conqueror on three continents, a builder of magnificent works. But he has only won an immortal notoriety. "Every stone in his buildings was cemented in human blood."... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 3:1-22

THE BURNING BUSH: MOSES CALLED TO EGYPT In tending Jethro's sheep Moses came to Mount Horeb, called "the mountain of God," because it signified Israel's relationship with God as under law. It is also called Sinai. Only after Moses' long years of desert experience does God finally reveal Himself to him, attracting him by the amazing sight of fire raging in a bush without consuming it (vs.2-3). As he goes closer to observe this miraculous sight, God calls him by name, warning him not to come... read more
