Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 13:17-22

1. The journey from Succoth to Etham 13:17-22"The way of the land of the Philistines" refers to the most northern of three routes travelers took from Egypt to Canaan (Exodus 13:17). The others lay farther south. The Egyptians had heavily fortified this caravan route, also called the Via Maris (the way of the sea). The Egyptians would have engaged Israel in battle had the chosen people gone that way.The people marched in an orderly fashion (Exodus 13:18). This is the meaning of "martial array."... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 13:1-22

The Consecration of the Firstborn. The March to Etham1-16. The Consecration of the Firstborn.All Israel was holy unto the Lord: see on Exodus 19:5, Exodus 19:6. But the firstborn of man and beast were specially consecrated to Him, as the part representing the whole. There was a special fitness in the consecration of the firstborn, seeing they had been spared in the destruction which overtook the Egyptians. The firstborn of mankind were to be consecrated to the service of Jehovah as priests; the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 13:21

(21) The Lord went before them.—In Exodus 13:17-18, the writer has declared that “God led the people;” he now explains how. from Succoth certainly, probably from Rameses, He moved in front of the host in the form of a pillar, which had the appearance of smoke by day and of fire by night. The Israelites marched, it is implied, some part of each day and some part of each night, which would be in accordance with modern practice, and is an arrangement introduced to get the march accomplished before... read more

Exodus 13:14 Compare Mr. A. R. Wallace's remark on Darwin in whose character, he observed,' the restless curiosity of the child to know the "what for?" the "why?" and the "how?" of everything seems never to have abated its force'. References. XIII. 14-17 F. D. Maurice, The Doctrine of Sacrifice, p. 49. Near-cuts Not God's Exodus 13:17 I. That, then, was one feature of God's guidance. It shunned the near road, and it took the roundabout; and if you have been living with the open eye, and... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Exodus 13:1-22

CHAPTER XIII.THE LAW OF THE FIRSTBORN.Exodus 13:1-22.Much that was said in the twelfth chapter is repeated in the thirteenth. And this repetition is clearly due to a formal rehearsal, made when all "their hosts" had mustered in Succoth after their first march; for Moses says, "Remember this day, in which ye came out" (Exodus 13:3). Already it had been spoken of as a day much to be remembered, and for its perpetuation the ordinance of the Passover had been founded.But now this charge is given as... read more

6. Redemption by Power CHAPTER 13:17-22 From Succoth to Etham 1. God’s leading (Exodus 13:17-18 ) 2. Joseph’s bones carried away (Exodus 13:19 ) 3. The pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire (Exodus 13:20-22 ) Jehovah now begins to lead His redeemed people forward. God chose their way for them, as He chooses the way for us. He was with His people, therefore He led them in His way. If His people are in His way He is with them and all is well. If we are not in His way He cannot be with us... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 13:1-22

GOD'S CLAIMS ON THE FIRSTBORN (vs.1-2) Rather than God's allowing the people to rush to get out of the borders of Egypt, He calmly insists first on His own claims over Israel. Only in verse 20 of this chapter do we see them leaving Succoth. The Lord calls upon Moses to "sanctify" or "set apart" all the firstborn of Israel and all the firstborn of their domestic animals. It was of course the firstborn who had been preserved by virtue of the blood of the lamb. God claimed these, for even by... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 13:1-22

The Drowning of Pharaoh Exodus 13:0 "What, still talking about miracles? We thought that faith in miracles had been given up long ago by intelligent men." Some such expression as this would not be unnatural from certain quarters. The answer is that "intelligent men" are just beginning to believe in miracles. They are nearly always the last men to come round to great conceptions and noble spiritual realisations. But even "intelligent men" are stirring themselves with somewhat of reluctance in... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 13:20-21

The Holy Ghost by his servant Paul hath given us sufficient authority to explain this pillar of cloud, this Shechinah, in express application to the Lord Jesus Christ, the great angel of the Covenant. 1 Corinthians 10:1-9 . And so again by Stephen in his sermon, who as expressly saith, that Christ was in the church in the wilderness, Acts 7:37-38 . See Micah 2:13 . And who but Jesus goeth before his people now? The church in the wilderness enjoyed this standing miracle it is true, with their... read more
