出エジプト記 6:4-8 JCB

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 6:4

Verse 4 4.And I have also established my covenant. The hope of the deliverance which He had formerly promised, and which the Patriarchs had expected, He confirms by alluding to the covenant, as I have just above said; and the particle גם, gam, which is twice repeated, is, in the first case, causal, in the second, illative, as much as to say, “Since I covenanted with your fathers, therefore I have now determined to bring you into the land of Canaan;” unless it be preferred to resolve it thus,... read more

Verse 5 5.And I have also heard the groaning. He assigns the reason why He so long had delayed to fulfill His promise, viz., because He would have His people sorely troubled, that He might more openly succor them in their affliction; besides, He chose that they should be unjustly oppressed by the Egyptians, in order that He might more justly rescue them from their tyrannical masters, as He had said to Abraham that He would avenge them after they had been afflicted. (Genesis 15:13.) He therefore... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 6:7

Verse 7 7.And I will take you to me. The end of their liberation is here described in the continued tenor of His grace. For it would have been little that the people should once be redeemed from Egypt, unless, when redeemed, they had lived under the defense and guardianship of God. As, therefore, He had long since separated the holy seed of Abraham from the other nations by circumcision, He now again sets it apart, (sanctificat,) and promises that he will be their God. In these words, then,... read more

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 6:2-8

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 6:4

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
