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 6:2-9

Yahweh’s Response to Pharaoh’s Behaviour and Promise to His People (Exodus 6:2-9 ). This promise is in the usual form of a chiasmus as follows: a God speaks to Moses (Exodus 6:2 a). b God says to Moses, ‘I am Yahweh.’ (Exodus 6:2). c He declares how He appeared to Abraham Isaac and Jacob but was not made known by them as Yahweh, and declares how He had promised by covenant to give the land of Canaan to them (Exodus 6:3-4). d He confirms that He has heard their groanings because of their... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 6:2-12

Exodus 6:2-2 Kings : . P’ s Second Account of Moses’ s Call.— Till the method of Hebrew compilers was understood, it was natural to take this as the account of a second call. It is now seen to be the account of his call in the latest source, as written by priestly annalists after the Exile. Moreover, it was this passage which put in the hands of the French physician, Jean Astruc (p. 122), the clue to the criticism of the Mosaic books. For the writer who says that God was known to the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 6:7

Will take you to me for a people, i.e. for my people; ye shall no longer be the people and slaves of the king of Egypt, but my people and servants, whom I will bless and preserve. And I will be to you a God, to judge and deliver you. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 6:1-8

CRITICAL NOTES.—Exodus 6:1-4. Then the Lord] We can scarcely err in saying that this verse should go with chap 5; and, as furnishing the immediate answer of Jehovah to the complaint of Moses, it brings the narrative to a resting place. Exodus 6:2 begins a new section. 2 By my name Jehovah was I not known to them] We here come upon what appears to be a grave difficulty. It does not at once approve itself to our minds as consistent with fact to say that the fathers of the Hebrew people were not... read more

Chuck Smith

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

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Exodus 6:7

Exo 6:7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. Ver. 7. And I will be to you a God. ] This is the top of any man’s happiness, to have God for his God. What can such a man want?
