出エジプト記 7:2 JC

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 7:1-7

Moses was "as God" to Pharaoh in that he was the person who revealed God’s will (Exodus 7:1). Pharaoh was to be the executor of that will. Aaron would be Moses’ prophet as he stood between Moses and Pharaoh and communicated Moses and God’s will to the king. Exodus 7:1 helps us identify the essential meaning of the Hebrew word nabhi (prophet; cf. Exodus 4:10-16; Deuteronomy 18:15-22; Isaiah 6:9; Jeremiah 1:7; Ezekiel 2:3-4; Amos 7:12-16). This word occurs almost 300 times in the Old Testament... read more

The Rod of Moses turned into a Serpent. The First Plague1. A god to Pharaoh] see on Exodus 4:16. Thy prophet] A prophet is a spokesman. The prophets of God are those who declare His will. In doing this they may foretell His judgments and predict the future; but prediction is a secondary feature of prophecy, and is not contained in the original and proper sense of the word in which it is used here, where Aaron is called the prophet or mouthpiece of Moses. To prophesy sometimes means to declare... read more

Exodus 7:1-2 The literature of France has been to ours what Aaron was to Moses, the expositor of great truths which would else have perished for want of a voice to utter them with distinctness. The relation which existed between Mr. Bentham and M. Dumont is an exact illustration of the intellectual relation in which the two countries stand to each other. The great discoveries in physics, in metaphysics, in political science, are ours. But scarcely any foreign nation except France has received... read more

CHAPTERS 6:28-7:13 The Renewed Commission and Before Pharaoh Again 1. Renewed commission and renewed hesitation (Exodus 6:28-30 ) 2. Jehovah’s instructions (Exodus 7:1-9 ) 3. Before Pharaoh and the sign of the rod (Exodus 7:10-13 ) Once more Moses received his commission, and again he hesitated on account of his poor speech. After all the gracious words Jehovah had spoken he pleads again his weakness. It shows what the unbelieving heart is. Twice Jehovah said that Moses should be a god.... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 7:1-25

GOD'S ANSWER TO MOSES (vs.1-7) Though Moses had protested that he was of uncircumcised lips, God assured him that He was making Moses a god to Pharaoh, therefore that Pharaoh would not be able to totally ignore Moses. Aaron was to be Moses' prophet and would speak all that Moses communicated to him as the command of God, the only object being to demand that Pharaoh release the children of Israel. Again He tells Moses that He will harden Pharaoh's heart and will use Pharaoh's stubbornness as... read more

PLAGUES OF EGYPT IMPORT OF THE EVENT Murphy reminds us that: To understand the import of this conflict we need to recall that for the first time since the dispersion of the nations (Genesis 11:0 ) the opposition between God and Satan in the history of mankind is coming out into broad daylight. This nation for the time being represents all heathendom, which is the kingdom of the prince of darkness, and the battle to be fought is the model and type of all future warfare between the Seed of... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 7:1-25

The Hardening of Pharaoh's Heart Exo 7:3 We have already remarked upon the hardening of Pharaoh's heart; let us now look at some of the broader aspects of that supposed mystery. We must never consent to have God charged with injustice. Stand at what distance he may from our reason, he must never separate himself from our conscience. If God could first harden a man's heart, and then punish the man because his heart was hard, he would act a part which the sense of justice would instantly and... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 7:1-7

1-7 God glorifies himself. He makes people know that he is Jehovah. Israel is made to know it by the performance of his promises to them, and the Egyptians by the pouring out of his wrath upon them. Moses, as the ambassador of Jehovah, speaking in his name, laid commands upon Pharaoh, denounced threatenings against him, and called for judgments upon him. Pharaoh, proud and great as he was, could not resist. Moses stood not in awe of Pharaoh, but made him tremble. This seems to be meant in the... read more
