出エジプト記 5:6-7 JC

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 5:1-23

5:1-15:21 DELIVERANCE FROM EGYPTMoses’ first meeting with Pharaoh (5:1-6:27)In the eyes of the Israelites, Moses’ first meeting with Pharaoh was a disaster. Pharaoh had no fear of Yahweh and no concern for Yahweh’s people. In fact, when Moses asked to take his people into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, Pharaoh responded by accusing the Israelites of laziness and making their work harder (5:1-14). This not only increased the suffering of the Israelites but also caused them to turn... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 5:5-7

"And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens. And the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, saying, Ye shall no more give the people straw to make bricks, which they did make heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.""The people of the land are many ..." There appears to be some disagreement among scholars as to the exact meaning of this, but, apparently, Johnson's suggestion that it means merely, "common... read more

Exodus 5:7. Straw to make brick— The straw was mixed with clay and mud: "The composition of bricks in Egypt," Dr. Shaw tells us, "was only a mixture of clay, mud, and straw, slightly blended and kneaded together, and afterwards baked in the sun. Paleis cohaerent lateres, (the sides of the bricks cohere to the straw,) says Philo, in his life of Moses. The straw which keeps these bricks together, in Egypt, and still preserves its original colour, seems to be a proof, that these bricks were never... read more

6. Pharaoh commanded—It was a natural consequence of the high displeasure created by this interview that he should put additional burdens on the oppressed Israelites. taskmasters—Egyptian overseers, appointed to exact labor of the Israelites. officers—Hebrews placed over their brethren, under the taskmasters, precisely analogous to the Arab officers set over the Arab Fellahs, the poor laborers in modern Egypt. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Exodus 5:7

7. Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick—The making of bricks appears to have been a government monopoly as the ancient bricks are nearly all stamped with the name of a king, and they were formed, as they are still in Lower Egypt, of clay mixed with chopped straw and dried or hardened in the sun. The Israelites were employed in this drudgery; and though they still dwelt in Goshen and held property in flocks and herds, they were compelled in rotation to serve in the brick... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 5:1-9

At Moses and Aaron’s first audience with Pharaoh they simply presented God’s command (Exodus 5:1). [Note: For an introduction to Liberation Theology, see Wolf, pp. 130-31.] They did not perform miracles but asked for permission to leave Egypt.The Israelites could have worshipped the gods of Egypt in the land, but they had to leave Egypt to worship a non-Egyptian God. Moses’ request was a request to exercise a basic human right, namely, freedom of worship."Exodus 5:1-5 introduces another aspect... read more
