Exodus 4:27-28. He met him in the mount of God Almost as soon as he had set out. For while Moses had met with many delays, through his family, Aaron had made great haste. And, no doubt, his coming was a great encouragement to Moses. Moses told Aaron all Those that are fellow- servants to God, in the same work, should use a mutual freedom, and endeavour rightly and fully to understand one another. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 4:18-31
Moses returns to Egypt (4:18-31)After meeting God, Moses returned to Jethro and then set out with his wife and sons for Egypt. God warned Moses of the stubbornness he could expect to meet in Pharaoh and of the disaster this would bring upon the Egyptian people (18-23). However, Moses could hardly instruct Israel to obey God when he himself had neglected the first requirement of the covenant, the circumcision of his son (cf. Genesis 17:10,Genesis 17:14). God sent Moses a near-fatal illness or... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 4:27-28
"And Jehovah said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mountain of God, and kissed him. And Moses told Aaron all the words of Jehovah wherewith he had sent him, and all the signs wherewith he had charged him."Note the brevity of all this. Such things as exactly where the meeting was to take place, and the exact time of it, etc., are all omitted. It is enough that God arranged and effected it. The meeting took place at Sinai, or Horeb. Yes, God had... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 4:27
Exodus 4:27. The Lord said, &c.— For Moses's farther comfort, God sends Aaron to meet him. The interview was affectionate; and, Moses having informed him of God's commission, they proceed together, and are received with joy by the elders and people. Note; 1. The comfortable meeting of friends is a mercy, but the obedient attention of the people to their ministers, a greater. 2. We should not be too sanguine on the first promising appearances: the fullest-blown tree bears not always... read more

27. Aaron met him in the mount of God, and kissed him—After a separation of forty years, their meeting would be mutually happy. Similar are the salutations of Arab friends when they meet in the desert still; conspicuous is the kiss on each side of the head. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 4:27-31
Aaron was evidently in Egypt when God told him to meet Moses and directed him to Horeb (Exodus 4:27). Moses was apparently on his way from Midian back to Egypt when Aaron met him. Compare the reunion of Jacob and Esau (Genesis 33).The Israelites believed what Moses and Aaron told them and what their miracles confirmed. They believed that the God of their fathers had appeared to Moses and had sent him to lead them out of Egypt and into the Promised Land (Exodus 4:31; cf. Exodus 3:6 to Exodus... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 4:27-28
The scene suddenly shifts. Moses is left in the wilderness to recover his strength and make such arrangements with respect to his wife and children as he thinks best under the circumstances. We are carried away to Egypt and introduced to Aaron, Moses' elder brother, of whom we have only heard previously that he could "speak well," and was to assist Moses as spokesman in his enterprise ( Exodus 4:14-16 ). We now find God revealing himself to Aaron also, and directing his movements, as... read more
