The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 19:1-9

The Arrival at Sinai and the First Message v. 1. In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. The greater part of the time since the departure out of Egypt, on the fifteenth day of the first month, had apparently been spent at Elim and at Rephidim, and it was not until the third month that the great army came into the desert of Sinai proper. v. 2. For they were departed from Rephidim, Exodus... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 19:1-15

Moses Receives Jehovah’s Words in the Mount Exodus 19:1-15 The plain beneath Sinai, where Israel encamped, has been identified, and the reader should study the books of travelers which afford a mental conception of the scene. The brilliant colors, in which red sandstone predominates; the shattered, thunder-stricken peaks; the awful silence; the utter absence of vegetation; the level plain giving abundant opportunity for all to hear and see-all these deserve notice. The tenderness of the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 19:1-25

Here we begin the third great movement in the Book of Exodus. We have seen the people in bondage and have observed them being delivered from that bondage and guided by Jehovah. However, they were still a confused multitude rather than an organized nation. From this point to the end of the Book we have the account of the giving of the constitution and the great work of organization. The first event was the calling of Moses and the announcement to him of the divine purpose. Jehovah first stated... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Exodus 19:1-25

Visions of God Exodus 19:1-25 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Going forth out of Egypt. Our study for today opens with the words: "In the third month, when the Children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai." It is very plain to us that the wrath of Pharaoh and his armies could not keep the Children of Israel in Egypt, neither could they hinder them from going forth on their way to Canaan. Satan is powerful, but he is not all-powerful. ... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 19:3-9

Yahweh Declares His People To Be A Holy People And His Treasured Possession, A Kingdom of Priests (Exodus 19:3-9 ). This may be analysed as follows: a Moses goes up to God and Yahweh calls to him from the mountain (Exodus 19:3). b Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob and tell the children of Israel, “You have seen what I did to the Egyptians and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself” (Exodus 19:4). c “Now therefore if you will obey my voice indeed” (Exodus 19:5... read more

i. e. Safely, out of the reach of danger; and strongly, against all opposition. Compare Deuteronomy 32:11; Isaiah 63:9; Revelation 12:14. Unto myself, into my presence, and favour, and fellowship, to be my peculiar people, to serve and worship me as your only Lord and King. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 19:1-6

CRITICAL NOTES.—Exodus 19:1. The Wilderness of Sinai.]—Sinai is the “proper name of the granite mountain in the Arabian Veninsula, rendered famous by the Mosaic legislation. It consists of three large summits, of which the north-eastern is called Horeb, the south-western that of St. Catherine. ‘The Wilderness of Sinai’ is the wilderness about Sinai, and particularly the plain of Sebayeh, south of Gibel Mûsa.” (Fürst.)—Exodus 19:3. Thus shalt thou say.]—There is something peculiarly beautiful in... read more

DISCOURSE: 91MOSES’ MESSAGE TO THE ISRAELITESExodus 19:3-6. And Moses went up unto God: and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shall thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye mitt obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine. And ye... read more
