Exodus 3:22

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Exodus 3:1-22

Exodus 3:2 It is the office and function of the imagination to renew life in lights and sounds and emotions that are outworn and familiar. It calls the soul back once more under the dead ribs of nature, and makes the meanest bush burn again, as it did to Moses, with the visible presence of God. J. Russell Lowell. References. III. 2. A.

5CHAPTER III.THE BURNING BUSH.Exodus 2:23 - Exodus 3:1-22"In process of time the king of Egypt died," probably the great Raamses, no other of whose dynasty had a reign which extended over the indicated period of time. If so, he had while living every reason to expect an immortal fame, as the greatest among Egyptian kings, a hero, a conqueror on three continents, a builder of magnificent works. But he has only won an immortal notoriety. "Every stone in his buildings was cemented in human blood."... read more

lete_me Exodus 3:16-22.THE COMMISSION.Exodus 3:10, Exodus 3:16-22.We have already learned from the seventh verse that God commissioned Moses, only when He had Himself descended to deliver Israel. He sends none, except with the implied or explicit promise that certainly He will be with them. But the converse is also true. If God sends no man but when He comes Himself, He never comes without demanding the agency of man. The overruled reluctance of Moses, and the inflexible urgency of his... read more

3:22 {p} But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put [them] upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.(p) This example may not be followed generally: though at God’s commandment they did it justly, receiving some recompence for their labours. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 3:1-22

THE BURNING BUSH: MOSES CALLED TO EGYPT In tending Jethro's sheep Moses came to Mount Horeb, called "the mountain of God," because it signified Israel's relationship with God as under law. It is also called Sinai. Only after Moses' long years of desert experience does God finally reveal Himself to him, attracting him by the amazing sight of fire raging in a bush without consuming it (vs.2-3). As he goes closer to observe this miraculous sight, God calls him by name, warning him not to come... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Exodus 3:1-22

THE CALL OF MOSES The Egyptian records refer to Moses. Rameses, said by many to be the Pharaoh of the Exodus, built a great monument on which he made an inscription naming the nobility who were present when it was erected. Toward the end of the list he mentions “The ra-Moses, Child of the Lady and Priestess of the Sun God Ra.” Note the peculiarity of the description. “The ra-Moses” means some distinguished ra-Moses, while “Child of the Lady” describes a situation and relation not unlike... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 3:13-22

Moses Excuses Himself Exo 3:13-14 The wisdom of Moses is seen in the nature of the inquiry which he proposed. He was resolved not to go a warfare at his own charges. Every man should know upon whose business he is going in life. Who is sending me? is an inquiry which a man should put to himself before venturing upon any course that is doubtful, hazardous, or experimental. Moses wished to be able to identify the personal authority of his mission. It was not enough to have a message, he must... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Exodus 3:22

Shall spoil, &c. That is, you shall strip, and take away the goods of the Egyptians. This was not authorizing theft or injustice: but was a just disposal made by him, who is the great Lord and Master of all things; in order to pay the children of Israel some part of what was due to them from the Egyptians for their labours. (Challoner) --- Wisdom (x. 17) rendered to the just the wages of their labours; and (ver. 19,) the just took the spoils of the wicked, in a just war. It is an ancient... read more
