出エジプト記 1:12 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 1:10-12

The wisdom of the wise brought to nought. God is wont to "destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent" ( 1 Corinthians 1:19 ). He "makes the devices of the people of none effect" ( Psalms 33:10 ). Humanly speaking, the Pharaoh had done "wisely," had counselled well: many a people has been crushed utterly under the yoke of an oppressor, ground down by hard labour—even after a time well-nigh exterminated. It was a clever and crafty plan to avoid... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 1:11-14

The bondage. I. HOW EFFECTED ? Doubtless, partly by craft, and partly by force. To one in Pharaoh's position, where there was the will to enslave, there would soon be found the way. 1 . The Israelites were politically weak. "The patriarchal family had grown into a horde; it must have lost its domestic character, yet it had no polity a people in this state was ripe for slavery" (Maurice). 2 . And Pharaoh had no scruples. Those engaged in tillage and keeping of cattle could... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 1:12

They were grieved because of the children of Israel . The word grieved very insufficiently renders the Hebrew verb, which "expresses a mixture of loathing and alarm". Kalisch translates forcibly, if inelegantly—"They had a horror of the children of Israel." read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 1:12

Exodus 1:12. The more they multiplied To the grief and vexation of the Egyptians. The original expression, rendered grew, is very emphatical, יפרצ jiphrots. They broke forth and expanded themselves with impetuosity, like a river swollen with the rains, whose waters increase and gain strength by being confined, Here we see how vain and fruitless the devices of men are against the designs of God: and how easily he, in his providence, can turn their counsels against themselves, and... read more

1:1-4:31 PREPARATION OF MOSESEgypt’s oppression of Israel (1:1-22)The small community of Israelites who first settled in Egypt were all members of one family, the family of Jacob, and their early days were ones of happiness and prosperity (Genesis 46:1-7; Genesis 47:11-12). God had promised they would grow into a nation, and over the following centuries they increased in numbers and influence till they dominated the whole of the north-east corner of Egypt (1:1-7; cf. Genesis 13:16; Genesis... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 1:8-14

"Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph. And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land. Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 1:12

Exodus 1:12. The more they afflicted them, &c.— The expression in the original is more energetic than any of the preceding in Exodus 1:7. יפרצ iprotz, rendered grew, signifies, properly, to break forth, and expand itself with impetuosity, like a rapid river, which swells and gathers force by being confined. Vain are the counsels of men against the providence of God! His blessing can turn the means they employ to oppress into the greatest advantages. There are many devices in a man's heart;... read more

I. THE LIBERATION OF ISRAEL 1:1-15:21"The story of the first half of Exodus, in broad summary, is Rescue. The story of the second half, in equally broad summary, is Response, both immediate response and continuing response. And binding together and undergirding both Rescue and Response is Presence, the Presence of Yahweh from whom both Rescue and Response ultimately derive." [Note: Durham, p. xxiii.] A.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 1:8-14

The new king (Exodus 1:8) may have been Ahmose (Greek Amosis) who founded the eighteenth dynasty and the New Kingdom and ruled from 1570 to 1546 B.C. However, he was probably one of Ahmose’s immediate successors, Amenhotep I or, most likely, Thutmose I. The Egyptian capital at this time was Zoan (Gr. Tanis). Ahmose was the first native Egyptian Pharaoh for many years. Preceding him was a series of Hyksos rulers.
