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

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Exodus 7:3-13

CHAPTER VII.THE HARDENING OF PHARAOH’S HEART.Exodus 7:3-13.When Moses received his commission, at the bush, words were spoken which are now repeated with more emphasis, and which have to be considered carefully. For probably no statement of Scripture has excited fiercer criticism, more exultation of enemies and perplexity of friends, than that the Lord said, "I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he shall not let the people go," and that in consequence of this Divine act Pharaoh sinned and... read more

CHAPTERS 6:28-7:13 The Renewed Commission and Before Pharaoh Again 1. Renewed commission and renewed hesitation (Exodus 6:28-30 ) 2. Jehovah’s instructions (Exodus 7:1-9 ) 3. Before Pharaoh and the sign of the rod (Exodus 7:10-13 ) Once more Moses received his commission, and again he hesitated on account of his poor speech. After all the gracious words Jehovah had spoken he pleads again his weakness. It shows what the unbelieving heart is. Twice Jehovah said that Moses should be a god.... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Exodus 7:11

7:11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the {d} sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.(d) It seems that these were Jannes and Jambres; 2 Timothy 3:8 so the wicked maliciously resist the truth of God. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 7:1-25

GOD'S ANSWER TO MOSES (vs.1-7) Though Moses had protested that he was of uncircumcised lips, God assured him that He was making Moses a god to Pharaoh, therefore that Pharaoh would not be able to totally ignore Moses. Aaron was to be Moses' prophet and would speak all that Moses communicated to him as the command of God, the only object being to demand that Pharaoh release the children of Israel. Again He tells Moses that He will harden Pharaoh's heart and will use Pharaoh's stubbornness as... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Exodus 7:1-13

PLAGUES OF EGYPT IMPORT OF THE EVENT Murphy reminds us that: To understand the import of this conflict we need to recall that for the first time since the dispersion of the nations (Genesis 11:0 ) the opposition between God and Satan in the history of mankind is coming out into broad daylight. This nation for the time being represents all heathendom, which is the kingdom of the prince of darkness, and the battle to be fought is the model and type of all future warfare between the Seed of... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 7:1-25

The Hardening of Pharaoh's Heart Exo 7:3 We have already remarked upon the hardening of Pharaoh's heart; let us now look at some of the broader aspects of that supposed mystery. We must never consent to have God charged with injustice. Stand at what distance he may from our reason, he must never separate himself from our conscience. If God could first harden a man's heart, and then punish the man because his heart was hard, he would act a part which the sense of justice would instantly and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 7:10-11

The Reader for the proper apprehension of this and the following verse, would do well to consider that God sometimes in his providence permits events, which are not within the power or the province of the human mind to account for: whether the magicians did actually do what is here said, or whether they possessed the art to make the spectators think so, is not easy to determine. I think it is more than probable, that the Lord over-ruled those circumstances in order that his sovereignty might,... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Exodus 7:11

Magicians. Jannes and Mambres, or Jambres, 2 Timothy iii. 8. (Challoner) --- The pagans represented Moses as the greatest of magicians. (Pliny, Natural History xxx. 1; Justin xxxvi.) --- They also, &c. Hebrew has three terms, "wise men, diviners, and magicians;" but the two last seem to be of the same import. "The enchanters did the like by their secret practices," either by words or by actions. Some say these operations were real; others affirm they were only apparent, and mere... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 7:8-13

8-13 What men dislike, because it opposes their pride and lusts, they will not be convinced of; but it is easy to cause them to believe things they wish to be true. God always sends with his word full proofs of its Divine authority; but when men are bent to disobey, and willing to object, he often permits a snare to be laid wherein they are entangled. The magicians were cheats, trying to copy the real miracles of Moses by secret sleights or jugglings, which to a small extent they succeeded in... read more
