出埃及记 19:5-6 RCUVSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 19:3-10

The covenant proposed. A characteristic difference is to be observed between the covenant made at Sinai and that formerly established with Abraham. In both, there is a wonderful act of Divine condescension. In both, God as well as man comes under engagements, ratified by outward formalities. But there is a difference in the design. In Abraham's case, the covenant was obviously intended as an aid to faith, an expedient for strengthening confidence in the Divine word. It is God who, in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 19:5

Now therefore . Instead of asking the simple question—"Will ye promise to obey me and keep my covenant.—God graciously entices the Israelites to their own advantage by a most loving promise. If they will agree to obey his voice, and accept and keep his covenant, then they shall be to him a peculiar treasure ( segullah )—a precious possession to be esteemed highly and carefully guarded from all that might injure it. (Compare Psalms 135:4 ; and see also Isaiah 43:1-4 .) and this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 19:5

My covenant. It may be proper at this stage to indicate briefly the nature of the constitution under which Israel was placed at Sinai, directing attention to some of the resemblances and contrasts between it and the new and better covenant which has since superseded it. The nature of the old covenant, though set in a very clear light in the writings of St. Paul, does not seem to be well understood. Sometimes it is too much assimilated to the New Testament covenant: sometimes it is viewed... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 19:5-6

God's promises to such as keep his covenant. Three things are here specially worthy of consideration:— 1 . The nature of the promises; 2 . The grounds on which they may be believed and trusted; and 3 . The conditions attached to them. I. THE NATURE OF THE PROMISES . God's promises to Israel are threefold—they shall be kings; they shall be priests; they shall be his peculiar treasure.— (a) Kings . Most men are slaves—servants of Satan, servants of sin,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 19:6

Ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests. Or "a royalty of priests"—at once a royal and a priestly race—all of you at once both priests and kings. (So the LXX . render, βασίλειον ἱεράτευμα ; the Targums of Onkelos and Jerusalem, "kings and priests;" that of Jonathan, "crowned kings and ministering priests.") They would be "kings," not only as "lords over death, the devil, hell, and all evil" (Luther), but also partly as having no earthly king set over them, but designed to live... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Exodus 19:5

A peculiar treasure - A costly possession acquired with exertion, and carefully guarded. The special relation in which Israel stands, taken out of the pagan world and consecrated to God, as His slaves, subjects, and children, determines their privileges, and is the foundation of their duties. The same principle applies even in a stronger sense to the Church. See Acts 20:28; 1 Corinthians 6:20; 1 Peter 2:9.All the earth is mine - It was a point of great practical importance, to impress upon the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Exodus 19:6

A kingdom of priests - Israel collectively is a royal and priestly race: a dynasty of priests, each true member uniting in himself the attributes of a king and priest. Compare 1 Peter 2:5; Revelation 1:6.An holy nation - The holiness of Israel consisted in its special consecration to God: it was a sacred nation, sacred by adoption, by covenant, and by participation in all means of grace. Compare Deuteronomy 7:6; Deuteronomy 26:19; Deuteronomy 28:9; 1Co 3:17; 1 Thessalonians 5:27. read more

Exodus 19:5. Then ye shall be a peculiar treasure to me He doth not instance in any one particular favour, but expresseth it in that which was inclusive of all happiness, that he would be to them a God in covenant, and they should be to him a people. Nay, you shall be a peculiar treasure: not that God was enriched by them, as a man is by his treasure, but he was pleased to value and esteem them as a man doth his treasure; they were precious in his sight. He took them under... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 19:6

Exodus 19:6. A kingdom of priests, a holy nation All the Israelites, if compared with other people, were priests unto God, so near were they to him, so much employed in his immediate service, and such intimate communion they had with him. The tendency of the laws given them was to distinguish them from others, and engage them for God as a holy nation. Thus all believers are, through Christ, made to our God kings and priests, (Revelation 1:6,) “a chosen generation, a royal... read more

19:1-24:18 MAKING OF THE COVENANTIsrael at Mount Sinai (19:1-25)The arrival of the people at Mount Sinai marked the fulfilment of the promise God made to Moses on the occasion of the burning bush (see 3:12). The journey from Egypt took three months and was accomplished solely by God’s power and care. Long before the nation of Israel existed, God chose it to be his people and he confirmed this choice in a covenant made with Abraham. He then guided the history of Abraham’s descendants to bring... read more
