E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Exodus 19:6

kingdom of priests . Not the genitive of character ( App-17 ), which would be priestly kingdom. But by the Figure of speech Antiptosis ( App-6 ) = "a royal priesthood", as explained in 1 Peter 2:9 . The whole nation being a priest with respect to other nations, as the tribe of Levi for Israel. Now in abeyance, because Israel did not fulfil the condition in Exodus 19:5 .

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 19:4-6

"Ye have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be mine own possession from among all peoples: for all the earth is mine: and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel."These verses, along with the first three, are a single paragraph, in fact constituting a... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 19:5

Exodus 19:5. Ye shall be a peculiar treasure— The word סגלה segulah, signifies a peculium; an appropriated treasure, or peculiar propriety: GOD, to whom belong all the people upon earth, being determined to select and set apart one nation, as the repository of his law, and the subjects of his most immediate government, was pleased to choose the Israelites above all people, because he had a delight in their fathers to love them, Deuteronomy 10:15; Deuteronomy 7:6-8. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 19:6

Exodus 19:6. A kingdom of priests, and, &c.— The latter clause seems explicative of the former; and might be rendered, even an holy nation; a nation separated and set apart by me, and for my service, as priests are separated; and so, from their relation to GOD, called holy: and, as priests were to be holy in themselves, as well as relatively holy; so were the Israelites set apart, not only to preserve the knowledge of the true God, but to shew their improvement of that knowledge by their... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 19:1-6

The Israelites arrived at the base of the mountain where God gave them the law about three months after they had left Egypt, in May-June (Exodus 19:1). The mountain in the Sinai range that most scholars have regarded as the mountain peak referred to in this chapter stands in the southeastern part of the Sinai Peninsula. Its name in Arabic is Jebel Musa, mountain of Moses. [Note: See Israel Finkelstein, "Raider of the Lost Mountain-An Israeli Looks at the Most Recent Attempt to Locate Mt.... read more

B. The establishment of the Mosaic Covenant 19:1-24:11The Lord had liberated Israel from bondage in Egypt, but now He adopted the nation into a special relationship with Himself."Now begins the most sublime section in the whole Book.

Preparation for the Giving of the Law1. The same day] the 15th day of the month: cp. Exodus 12:18, Exodus 12:29; Exodus 16:1. Marching slowly, with long halts at the various stations on the route, the host took two months to traverse the 150 m between Egypt and Sinai.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 19:5

(5) A peculiar treasure.—The Hebrew sĕgullah is from a root, found in Chaldee, signifying “to earn,” or “acquire,” and means primarily some valuable possession, which the owner has got by his own exertions. (Comp. 1 Chronicles 29:3, where the English Version translates it by “mine own proper good.”) God views the Israelites as made His own by the long series of mighty works done for their deliverance, whereby He is sometimes said to have “redeemed” (Exodus 6:6; Exodus 15:13), or “purchased”... read more
