The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 6:14-27

The Genealogy of Moses and Aaron v. 14. These be the heads of their father's houses. The tribes were considered as branching off first into families, or clans, or heads of the father-houses; these again branch off into the father-houses themselves. The sons of Reuben, the first-born of Israel: Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; these be the families of Reuben. Cf Genesis 46:9; 1 Chronicles 5:3. v. 15. And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul,... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Exodus 6:1-30

D.—Moses and Aaron before Pharaoh. The seemingly mischievouas effect of their divine message, and the discouragment of the people and the messengers themselves. God reverses this effect nu solemnly promising deliverance, revealing his name Jehovah, summoning the heads of the tribes to unite with Moses and Aaron, raising Moses’ faith above Pharaoh’s defiance, and declaring the glorious object and issue of Pharaoh’s obduracyExodus 5:1 to Exodus 7:71And afterward Moses and Aaron went in [came] and... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 6:10-27

the Line of Descent of God’s Spokesmen Exodus 6:10-27 Here is an inventory of God’s jewels, in the day when He counted them up. We are reminded of Malachi 3:17 . Before He led forth the flock, the Good Shepherd counted them, that not one might be missing. There is a peculiar emphasis on the mention of Moses and Aaron in Exodus 6:26 : “These are that Moses and Aaron.” It was as though we were led to the hole of the pit whence they were digged, and a very poor hole it was, for their parentage... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 6:1-30

Here commences the section of Exodus devoted to the subject of national deliverance. Everything began with a solemn charge to Moses. It is first an answer to the complaint which God's servant had uttered in His presence. It was a message of divine self-assertion and, therefore, necessarily a message of grace. Mark the recurrence of the personal pronoun. That is the permanent value of this wonderful passage. The supreme need in every hour of difficulty and depression is a vision of God. To see... read more

Faith as Exemplified in Moses Selections from Exodus 3:1-22 ; Exodus 6:1-30 ; Exodus 7:1-25 ; Exodus 8:1-32 ; Exodus 14:1-31 ; Exodus 15:1-27 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Children of Israel had been captive in Egypt for several hundred years. During that time another Pharaoh had arisen who knew not Joseph. As the sons of Jacob multiplied, the king of Egypt became more and more afraid of their possible ascendancy in his empire. Therefore, moved with fear, he began to persecute them, and to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 6:10-30

Yahweh’s Charge to Moses and Aaron and Details of Aaron’s Background (Exodus 6:10-30 ). Here we have a further chiasmus based around genealogical information to do with Aaron as the head of Moses’ family demonstrating their credentials. Yahweh has just previously made known His own credentials, now Aaron’s credentials are to be laid out. Such a background confirms his worthiness for the task that lies ahead. a Yahweh commands Moses to speak to Pharaoh to let the children of Israel leave and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 6:13-30

Exodus 6:13-Amos : . An insertion by the editor, who in Exodus 6:13 anticipates the mention of Aaron ( Exodus 7:1 f.), and in Exodus 6:14-Daniel : compresses a wider genealogy to give the pedigree of Moses and Aaron, and in Exodus 6:28-Amos : recapitulates Exodus 6:1-2 Kings :. From Genesis 5 onwards genealogies, original and inserted, abound in P, reflecting the post-exilic interest in pedigrees (Ch., Ezr., Neh.). A Canaanite strain is indicated for Simeon ( Exodus 6:15), as well as for... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 6:14-30

CRITICAL NOTES.—Exodus 6:14. The heads of their fathers’ houses] It is obvious that Exodus 6:13-30 form a distinct section: indeed Exodus 6:30 resumes the very words of Exodus 6:13. The interjected portion might seem to interrupt the flow of the narrative; but on closer examination the conclusion that it could ill be spared is easily arrived at, since the genealogy given relates directly to the leading actors who are coming on the scene. The houses of Reuben and Simeon are given for the sake of... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 6:1-30

Chapter five of the book of Exodus, we left Moses in great despair. He did what he thought God was calling him to do. He went to the Pharaoh and demanded the release of the children of Israel. But the Pharaoh, rather than releasing them, only increased the burdens and the severity of their slavery.Until the children of Israel started really getting on Moses' case saying, "Why didn't you leave us alone? We were much better off before you ever came. Now since you've come, things are really hard... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 6:1-30

Exodus 6:1. With a strong hand. In a general view we do not find that heaven has recourse to miracles, except when religion is low and greatly depressed, somewhat as a fire which is burnt down has need of the blast to raise the heat. In this view, God graciously favoured the holy prophets, before Jerusalem was destroyed, and when idolatry raised her daring front to heaven. So also when the new covenant superseded the shadows of the old, our Saviour commanded divine obedience by the divinity... read more
