出エジプト記 3:10-14 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:7-11

God's sympathy with the oppressed. I. GOD IS EVER IN SYMPATHY WITH THE OPPRESSED , AND AGAINST THEIR OPPRESSORS ( Exodus 3:7 , Exodus 3:9 ). This is now, thanks to the Bible, made as certain to us as any truth can be. God's sympathy may be viewed— 1 . As implied in his moral perfection. 2 . As certified to us by the pity of our own hearts. He who put pity in these hearts must surely himself be pitiful. Yet, so much is there in the world which bears... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:10-12

Insufficiency. A very different Moses this from the hero who was formerly so ready, even without a call, to undertake the work of Israel's deliverance. Probably failure in that first attempt led him to doubt whether he was the instrument ordained for so great a task. He may have concluded he was not, and learned his first lesson of acquiescence in the Divine will, by surrendering the hope. Or, he may have thought himself rejected for his fault. In any case, Moses had now much juster... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:10-12

The first difficulty: Who am I? Divine promises are not long kept separated from human duty. Scarcely has God presented to Moses this welcome, almost dazzling prospect for Israel, when there breaks upon his ear an announcement of his own connection with it, and that in the most trying and responsible position. That he was to have some sort of connection with the liberation of Israel Was just what he might expect. God assuredly had not chosen to visit him so far from Egypt, and in that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:11

And Moses said … Who am I, that I should go , etc. A great change had come over Moses. Forty years earlier he had been forward to offer himself as a "deliverer." He "went out" to his brethren and slew one of their oppressors, and "supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them" ( Acts 7:25 ). "But they understood not" ( ibid .) They declined to accept him for leader, they reproached him with setting himself up to be "a ruler and a judge" over... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:11

Fitness of Moses to be God's instrument in delivering Israel. The fitness of Moses to be Israel's deliverer will appear if we consider, first, What were the qualities which the part of deliverer required; secondly, how far they were united in him; and thirdly, what reasons there are for believing that, at the time, they were not united to the same extent in any other person. 1 . NECESSARY QUALITIES OF THE DELIVERER . As having to deal, in the first instance, with a great king... read more

Moses' timidity notwithstanding his fitness. It is not often that those are most confident of their powers who are fittest for God's work. Great capacity is constantly accompanied by a humble estimate of itself. Jeremiah's reply when God called him was: "Ah! Lord God, I cannot speak, for I am a child" ( Jeremiah 1:6 ). Newton seemed to himself a child gathering shells upon the shores of the ocean of Truth. The exclamation of Moses, "Who am I that I should go," etc. has been... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:11-17

Hindrances to service and how God removes them. 1 . THE HINDRANCE FOUND IN THE SENSE OF OUR OWN WEAKNESS ( Exodus 3:11 , Exodus 3:12 ). 1 . Moses knew the pomp and pride of the Egyptian court. He remembered how Israel had rejected him when he was more than he was now. Once he had believed himself able for the task, but he was wiser now: "Who am I ?" etc. He might serve God in the lowly place he held, but not there. Moses in this the type of multitudes. God's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:12

Certainly I will be with thee . Literally, " Since I will be with thee." Moses had excused himself on the ground of unfitness. God replies—"Thou wilt not be unfit, since I will be with thee— I will supply thy deficiencies— I will impart all the qualities thou needest— and this shall be a sign unto thee of my power and faithfulness—this shall assure thee that I am not sending thee upon a fruitless errand—it is determined in my counsels that not only shalt thou succeed, and lead... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:13

What is his name? It is not at all clear why Moses should suppose that the Israelites would ask him this question, nor does it even appear that they did ask it. Perhaps, however, he thought that, as the Egyptians used the word "god," generically, and had a special name for each particular god—as Ammon, Phthah, Ra, Mentu, Her, Osiris, and the like—when he told his people of "the God of their fathers," they would conclude that he, too, had a proper name, and would wish to know it. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:13-15

God's revelation of himself under the name Jehovah, and the meaning of it. At first sight the name by which God shall be called may seem unimportant, as it is unimportant whether a man be called Tully or Cicero. But, originally, each name that is given to God is significant; and according as one name or another is commonly used, one idea or another of the Divine nature will be prevalent. Hitherto God had been known mainly to the Semites as El , Eliun , Elohim , "Exalted, Lofty," or... read more
