The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:1-22

THE MISSION OF MOSES . After forty years of monotonous pastoral life, affording abundant opportunity for meditation, and for spiritual communion with God, and when he had attained to the great age of eighty years, and the hot blood of youth had given place to the calm serenity of advanced life, God at last revealed Himself to Moses "called him" ( Exodus 3:4 ), and gave him a definite mission. The present chapter is' intimately connected with the next. Together, they contain an... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:3-10

I. How MOSES MET WITH GOD . 1 . The marvel was marked and considered. He might simply have glanced at it and passed on; but he observed it till the wonder of it possessed his soul. There are marvels that proclaim God's presence in the earth today. Creation, the Bible, Christ's saving work. The first step towards conviction is to consider them. 2 . "He turned aside to see." It was a matter to be inquired into and probed to the bottom. 3 . God meets the earnest, sincere... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:4

When the Lord saw … God called . This collocation of words is fatal in the entire Elohistic and Jehovistic theory, for no one can suppose that two different writers wrote the two clauses of the sentence. Nor, if the same term was originally used in both clauses, would any reviser have altered one without altering both. Out of the midst of the bush. A voice, which was the true voice of God, appeared to Moses to proceed out of the midst of the fire which enveloped the thorn-bush. An... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:4-6

The prohibition, and the ground of it. Suddenly the steps of the inquirer are arrested. Wonder upon wonder! a voice calls to him out of the bush, and calls him by his own name, "Moses, Moses!" Now must have dawned on him the conviction that it was indeed a "great thing" which he was witnessing; that the ordinary course of nature was broken in upon; that he was about to be the recipient of one of those wonderful communications which God from time to time had vouchsafed to his forefathers,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:5

Draw not nigh . The awful greatness of the Creator is such that his creatures, until invited to draw near, are bound to stand aloof. Moses, not yet aware that God himself spoke to him, was approaching the bush too close, to examine and see what the "great thing" was. (See Exodus 3:3 .) On the general unfitness of man to approach near to holy things, see the comment on Exodus 19:12 . Put off thy shoes . Rather, "thy sandals. " Shoes were not worn commonly, even by the Egyptians,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:6

The God of thy father . "Father" here is used collectively, meaning forefathers generally, a usage well known to Hebraists. (Compare Exodus 15:2 , and Exodus 18:4 .) The God of Abraham , etc; i.e . the God who revealed himself to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and entered into covenant with them ( Genesis 15:1-21 ; Genesis 26:2-5 ; Genesis 35:1-12 ). The conclusion which our Blessed Lord drew from this verse ( Matthew 22:32 ) is not directly involved in it, but depends on his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:6

The God of the fathers. " I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham," etc. In these words— I. GOD CONNECTS HIMSELF WITH THE DEAD PATRIARCHS . They imply— 1 . Continued existence; for God, who says here, not " I was," but " I am , the God of thy father," is, as Christ reminds us, "not the God of the dead, but of the living" ( Matthew 22:32 ). The personal relation was not dissolved. The patriarchs still lived to him. 2 . The resurrection of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:6

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Having wakened the mind of Moses into full activity, given him a revelation of supernatural power, and brought him altogether into a state of the greatest reverence and awe, God proceeds to a revelation of himself in a particular aspect—an aspect which required and repaid the most earnest attention. Notice that, unlike the revelation of the name I AM ( Exodus 3:13 ), it was unsolicited. I. CONSIDER THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS NAME ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:7

I have surely seen . Literally "Seeing I have seen"—an expression implying continuance. On the force of the anthropomorphic terms "seeing, hearing, knowing," as used of God, see the comment on Exodus 2:24-25 . Taskmasters . Not the general superintendents of Exodus 1:11 , but subordinate officials, who stood over the labourers and applied the rod to their backs. (See above, Exodus 2:11 .) read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 3:7-9

A large promise for a great need. I. THE GREAT NEED . It is a need carefully observed by God and well known to him. This has been recorded already, although hardly so emphatically, in Exodus 2:23-25 . It is one thing to have intelligence of God's interest communicated by some third person; quite another to hear the words of pity warm and tender from God himself. Moses and many of the Israelites may have thought that they knew the need only too well, bitter as their experiences... read more
