출애굽기 7:9 KRV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 7:9

Exodus 7:9. Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod This Moses ordinarily held in his hand, and delivered to Aaron, upon occasion, for the execution of his commands. For this and some other miracles were to be done, not by Moses immediately, but by Aaron, partly, perhaps, to preclude or take off the suspicion that these miracles were wrought by some magic arts of Moses, and partly for the greater honour of Moses, that he might be what God had said, (Exodus 7:1,) a god to Pharaoh, who not only could... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 7:1-13

Forecast of coming judgment (6:28-7:13)Before Moses approached Pharaoh to give him a final opportunity to release Israel, God reminded Moses that not just Pharaoh but the whole Egyptian nation was under the threat of judgment. People and king alike were stubbornly opposed to Yahweh and were devoted followers of Yahweh’s enemies, the Egyptian gods (6:28-7:7; cf. 9:27; 12:12).These were gods of nature and were therefore connected with the river Nile, on which Egypt depended entirely for its water... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 7:8-10

A PRELIMINARY MIRACLE (Exodus 7:8-13)"And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, Show a wonder for you; then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent. And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so, as Jehovah had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent."The question of miracles in the Pentateuch troubles some people,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 7:9

Exodus 7:9. When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle— Hence it appears evidently, that miracles were judged, by the common sense of mankind, a proper and sufficient proof of a commission from God. Our Saviour constantly made this appeal: believe me for the work's sake:—the works which I do, they witness for me, &c. Grotius has an ingenious conjecture on this place, that the custom of ambassadors bearing a caduceus or rod in their hands, was first derived from this event to... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Exodus 7:9

9. When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, c.—The king would naturally demand some evidence of their having been sent from God and as he would expect the ministers of his own gods to do the same works, the contest, in the nature of the case, would be one of miracles. Notice has already been taken of the rod of Moses (Exodus 4:2), but rods were carried also by all nobles and official persons in the court of Pharaoh. It was an Egyptian custom, and the rods were symbols of authority or rank. Hence God... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 7:8-13

3. The attestation of Moses and Aaron’s divine mission 7:8-13Pharaoh requested that Moses and Aaron perform a miracle to prove their divine authority since they claimed that God had sent them (Exodus 7:9-10)."What we refer to as the ten ’plagues’ were actually judgments designed to authenticate Moses as God’s messenger and his message as God’s message. Their ultimate purpose was to reveal the greatness of the power and authority of God to the Egyptians (Exodus 7:10 to Exodus 12:36) in order to... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 7:1-25

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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 7:9

(9) Shew a miracle for you.—Pharaoh had perhaps heard of the miracles wrought by Aaron before the people of Israel (Exodus 4:30), and was curious to be an eye-witness of one, as was Herod Antipas (Luke 23:8). Or he may have thought that if Moses and Aaron “shewed a miracle,” his own magicians would be able to show greater ones, and he would then dismiss the brothers as charlatans and impostors. He certainly did hot intend to be influenced by any miracle which they might show, or to accept it as... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Exodus 7:1-25

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
