出エジプト記 6:3-6 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 6:1-8

The expostulation of Moses did not offend God. God gave him, in reply to it, a most gracious series of promises and assurances, well calculated to calm his fears, assuage his griefs, and comfort his heart; and he confirmed the whole to him by his name JEHOVAH , "the Only Existent," and therefore" the Eternal and Immutable." This name he had previously revealed to Moses at Mount Sinai, as his peculiar name, and the one by which he would choose to be called ( Exodus 3:13-15 ). He had also... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 6:1-9

A Divine commentary on a Divine name. The antiquity of the name Jehovah, setting aside direct testimonies to its occurrence in earlier scriptures, is sufficiently proved by its etymology (from havah , an old—and, in the days of Moses, obsolete—form of the verb "to be"), and from its presence (in composition) in pre-Mosaic proper names ( e.g. Exodus 6:20 ). It is absurd to press this passage in proof of the ignorance of the patriarchs of this name of God, when one observes— 1 .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 6:2-3

God's names and their importance. With men a name is simply a "mark of difference"—a mode of distinguishing one individual from another; and the particular name that a man bears is, generally speaking, a matter of the very slightest importance. But with God the case is otherwise. The names of God have always been among all men significant names. If their signification is clear, or generally known, then men's views of the Supreme Being are vitally affected by the names under which they know... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 6:2-3

The Lord thy God is one God. God appeared to the fathers of the race under one name; to their successors under another. Name is more than title; it is the character, or aspect of character, denoted by the title. Jehovah would seem to have been a title of God before the time of Moses; but to him, and to the Israelites through him, was first revealed that aspect of the Divine character which explained and justified the title. Notice— I. ONE MAY KNOW GOD WITHOUT KNOWING ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 6:2-8

The message to afflicted Israel. I. THE WORD TO THE LEADER : Exodus 6:2-5 . The message must be from faith to faith. The heart of God's servant must first be revived ere he can impart strength to the people. 1 . He is reminded of God's faithfulness: " I am Jehovah." We cannot grasp this truth without deliverance from fear. 2 . The darkness will only make God's glory shine out the more resplendently. Their present sufferings will mark a new era in God's revelation of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 6:3

I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty . See Genesis 17:1 for the revelation of this name to Abraham, and Genesis 35:11 for its repetition to Jacob. We do not find the full name used by God in any appearance to Isaac; but IsaActs himself uses it in Genesis 28:3 . By my name Jehovah was I not known unto them . The explanation of this passage is by no means easy. God himself, according to Genesis 15:7 , revealed himself to Abraham as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 6:4

I have established my covenant with them . Compare Genesis 15:18-21 ; Genesis 17:7 , Genesis 17:8 ; Genesis 26:3 ; Genesis 28:13 . The land of Canaan , in a narrow acceptation, reached "from Sidon unto Gaza" ( Genesis 10:19 ); in a wider sense it included the whole tract between "the river of Egypt ( Wady-el-Arish ) and the great river, the river Euphrates" ( Genesis 15:18 ). It was this larger tract which was promised by God to Abraham. The land of their pilgrimage,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 6:4-8

God a keeper of covenants. God is declared in Scripture to be one who "keepeth covenant and mercy, yea, to a thousand generations" ( Deuteronomy 7:9 ). He is ever faithful. He cannot lie. He is not a man that he should repent. The bow which he set in the cloud, when he covenanted with Noah that the waters should no more become a flood to destroy all flesh, is still there, and the promise of which it was the sign has been kept—there has come no repetition of the Flood, no second... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 6:5

I have also heard the groaning . Compare Exodus 2:24 and Exodus 3:9 . The repetition is in consequence of Moses' expostulation ( Exodus 5:22 , Exodus 5:23 ), and is to assure the Israelites that God has not forgotten them, but will sustain them under their afflictions, and will shortly deliver them. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 6:6

Say unto the children of Israel . God felt for the disappointment which the people had suffered in finding no alleviation of their toils, but the reverse, after their hopes had been raised high by the words of Moses ( Exodus 4:31 ). He therefore sent them an inspiriting and gracious message. "They should be rid of their bondage; they should be brought out; they should be redeemed and delivered by his mighty arm and miraculous intervention. He, Jehovah, had said it." Faith would lay... read more
