The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:1-22

THE MISSION OF MOSES . After forty years of monotonous pastoral life, affording abundant opportunity for meditation, and for spiritual communion with God, and when he had attained to the great age of eighty years, and the hot blood of youth had given place to the calm serenity of advanced life, God at last revealed Himself to Moses "called him" ( Exodus 3:4 ), and gave him a definite mission. The present chapter is' intimately connected with the next. Together, they contain an... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:3-10

I. How MOSES MET WITH GOD . 1 . The marvel was marked and considered. He might simply have glanced at it and passed on; but he observed it till the wonder of it possessed his soul. There are marvels that proclaim God's presence in the earth today. Creation, the Bible, Christ's saving work. The first step towards conviction is to consider them. 2 . "He turned aside to see." It was a matter to be inquired into and probed to the bottom. 3 . God meets the earnest, sincere... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:4

When the Lord saw … God called . This collocation of words is fatal in the entire Elohistic and Jehovistic theory, for no one can suppose that two different writers wrote the two clauses of the sentence. Nor, if the same term was originally used in both clauses, would any reviser have altered one without altering both. Out of the midst of the bush. A voice, which was the true voice of God, appeared to Moses to proceed out of the midst of the fire which enveloped the thorn-bush. An... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:4-6

The prohibition, and the ground of it. Suddenly the steps of the inquirer are arrested. Wonder upon wonder! a voice calls to him out of the bush, and calls him by his own name, "Moses, Moses!" Now must have dawned on him the conviction that it was indeed a "great thing" which he was witnessing; that the ordinary course of nature was broken in upon; that he was about to be the recipient of one of those wonderful communications which God from time to time had vouchsafed to his forefathers,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:5

Draw not nigh . The awful greatness of the Creator is such that his creatures, until invited to draw near, are bound to stand aloof. Moses, not yet aware that God himself spoke to him, was approaching the bush too close, to examine and see what the "great thing" was. (See Exodus 3:3 .) On the general unfitness of man to approach near to holy things, see the comment on Exodus 19:12 . Put off thy shoes . Rather, "thy sandals. " Shoes were not worn commonly, even by the Egyptians,... read more

The Lord saw - The interchange of the two divine names is to be observed; “Jehovah” (Yahweh) saw, “God” called. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Exodus 3:5

Put off thy shoes - The reverence due to holy places thus rests upon God’s own command. The custom itself is well known from the observances of the temple, it was almost universally adopted by the ancients, and is retained in the East.Holy ground - This passage is almost conclusive against the assumption that the place was previously a sanctuary. Moses knew nothing of its holiness after some 40 years spent on the Peninsula. It became holy by the presence of God. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 3:3-4

Exodus 3:3-4. I will turn aside and see He speaks as one inquisitive and bold in his inquiry: whatever it was, he would, if possible, know the meaning of it. God called to him, and said, Moses, Moses Probably there had been no appearance of God to any one since Jacob’s descent into Egypt, above two hundred years before: and Moses, being addressed thus by name, must have been much more surprised by what he heard than by what he saw. Divine calls are then effectual when the Spirit of God... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 3:5

Exodus 3:5. Draw not nigh hither Keep thy distance. Thus God checks his curiosity and forwardness, and disposes his mind to the greater reverence and humility. Put off thy shoes from thy feet This is required as a token of his reverence for the Divine Majesty, then and there eminently present; of his humiliation for his sins, which rendered him unworthy to appear before God; of his putting away all sin in his walk or conversation; and of his submission and readiness to obey God’s will;... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 3:1-12

God calls Moses (3:1-12)While Moses was minding sheep at Mount Sinai (also called Mount Horeb, after the range in which it was situated), the unseen God, who for eighty years had silently guided his life, made himself known to him. The revelation of God in the burning bush showed that though this God was unapproachably holy, he could dwell among earthly things without destroying them (3:1-6).God was now going to use Moses to deliver his people from bondage in Egypt and bring them into a new... read more
