出エジプト記 7:11 JCB

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 7:8-13

The Miracles in the Presence of Pharaoh v. 8. And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, v. 9. When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Show a miracle for you, then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent. This miracle, Exodus 4:3-Deuteronomy :, was to substantiate the words of the ambassadors, to give definite proof of their divine commission. v. 10. And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the Lord... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 7:1-13

Pharaoh Stubborn against Israel’s Release Exodus 6:28-30 ; Exodus 7:1-13 How often we say in a similar tone, “I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?” Forty years in the wilderness, in absolute solitude, had robbed Moses of the eloquence with which Stephen credits him in earlier life. Like Jeremiah, he felt himself a child and unable to speak. It is an awful moment when the human will sets itself in antagonism to the divine. If it will not bend, it must break. For... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 7:1-25

We have here the record of God's answer to Moses' difficulty. He reaffirmed Himself and charged His servant to speak to Pharaoh the things commanded. Moreover, He foretold the result of the delivery of the message. Here begins the story of the conflict between Jehovah and Pharaoh. Throughout this entire story two different words are employed, the distinction between which has a vital bearing on the story itself. The first word suggests the idea of giving fixity, or, in the realm of the will,... 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 7:1-13

Yahweh Encourages Moses To Go Forward (Exodus 7:1-13 ). a Yahweh tells Moses that He has made him as a God to Pharaoh, with Aaron as his prophet (Exodus 7:1). b Moses is therefore to say all that Yahweh commands, and Aaron must communicate it in diplomatic style to Pharaoh, with the aim of him letting the children of Israel leave the land (Exodus 7:2). c Yahweh promises that He will harden Pharaoh’s heart (make it firm and strong in the wrong direction) and will as a result multiply signs... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 7:8-13

Exodus 7:8-1 Chronicles : P. Aaron and the Magicians: Hardening of Pharaoh’ s Heart.— Magic and religion are, in the last analysis, fundamentally diverse; for, while magic claims to put a compelling constraint upon occult powers, religion implies a relation and dependence upon a personal Being of which prayer is the characteristic expression (p. 187). But the two have been, and are still, almost inextricably intermingled. It is not surprising, therefore, to find magical powers, in all good... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 7:11

Under the general title of wise men he seems to comprehend all who were most eminent in any sort of wisdom, either natural, or civil, or divine, who were all called to give their opinion and advice in these matters. The magicians, the same now called sorcerers, who acted by the power of the devil, whom by certain rites and ceremonies they engaged to their assistance. Of these the two chief were Jannes and Jambres, 2 Timothy 3:8. They also did in like manner, in show and appearance, which was... read more
