出エジプト記 5:22-6:1 JCB

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 5:20-23

The Complaint of the Administrative Scribes of the Children of Israel (Exodus 5:20 to Exodus 6:1 ). a As they leave the presence of Pharaoh the administrative scribes meet Moses and Aaron, and ask that Yahweh will look on Moses and Aaron and judge them for making the children of Israel an abhorrence to Pharaoh and his servants so that they are treating them so badly (Exodus 5:20-21). b Moses returns to Yahweh and asks Him why He has treated His people so badly and what purpose He had in... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 5:1-23

Exodus 5:1 to Exodus 6:1 ( Exodus 5:1 f. and Exodus 5:4 E, the rest J). Pharaoh’ s first refusal to let Israel go, and his increase of their burdens.— The bulk of the story is taken from J, but part of the opening shows that E told it too. One spoke of “ the God of Israel,” the other of “ the God of the Hebrews” : both related the demand for leave of absence in order to worship. Observe in J the primitive dread of an approach of the Divine Being unless an acceptable offering be at hand... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 5:22

Moses returned unto the Lord, to expostulate with him, and pray to him. To the people he saith nothing, but meekly passeth by their severe censures, as forced from them by intolerable oppression; and because their minds being now imbittered and exasperated, they were incapable of admonition. Wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people, by giving occasion to their greater bondage? He expostulates the matter with God, not from pride and arrogance, as one that would censure and condemn his... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 5:20-23

CRITICAL NOTES.—Exodus 5:23. Neither has thou delivered thy people at all] This, though strong, is scarcely so bold as the original, which here makes an effective use of its preplaced infinitive absolute: “and—as for delivering—thou has not delivered thy people.”MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Exodus 5:20-23CHRISTIAN WORKERS; THEIR DIFFICULTIES AND DISCOURAGEMENTWe do not as a rule fully appreciate the difficulties with which Christian workers have to contend. We are apt to imagine that their... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Exodus 5:22-23

Exodus 5:22-23 When Moses saw the vision at Horeb, he had passed many more years in the world than Jacob at the time of his vision at Bethel; he knew much of which Jacob was ignorant, and had experienced a kind of sorrow which had never reached him. He had passed through the sore trial of feeling himself the member of an utterly degraded race, which he had dreamed of helping and could not help; in the very sufferings of which he was not allowed to share. He had an early inward intimation that... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 5:1-23

Chapter 5And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told the Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness. And Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, that I should obey his voice and let Israel go? [Well you'll find out, buddy.] I know not Jehovah, neither will I let Israel go ( Exodus 5:1-2 ).So a definite challenge to God by the Pharaoh. "Who is Jehovah that I should let the people go? I don't know him and I'm not gonna let them... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 5:1-23

Exodus 5:1. Moses and Aaron, accompanied by the elders, as in Exodus 6:26, went to Pharaoh. Exodus 5:2. Who is Jehovah? I know not JEHOVAH. The mythology of the gentiles supposed every city, and every country or nation to have its own god, or rather goddess, mothers being supposed to be more tender-hearted than fathers. Thus Minerva was supposed to be the presiding divinity over Athens; and Diana to be the goddess of the Ephesians. Thus we find Moses accommodating himself to the ideas... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Exodus 5:22-23

Exodus 5:22-23Why is it that Thou hast sent me?The sorrows of Christian serviceThere is a tone of unspeakable sadness in this complaint of Moses. He had been crossed in his aims, his Divinely-inspired hopes had received an unexpected reverse, and all his plans for liberating Israel lay in ruins. It was a bitter moment, and every one who knows anything of the vicissitudes of Christian work will be able to enter into his feelings on this occasion. There come times to every earnest labourer in... read more

And Moses returned unto the Lord. ] He turned aside, as it were to speak with a friend, and to disburden himself in God’s bosom. This is the saints’ privilege. See Trapp on " Mat 11:25 " read more
