Exode 11:2, Exode 11:3 BDS

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 11:1-10

the Death of the First-born Threatened Exodus 11:1-10 “One plague more.” These are ominous words! This final act of judgment would smite the fetters from Israel’s neck forever. It is vain for man to enter into conflict with God. God does not crush him at once, because He is long-suffering and forgiving. See 2 Peter 3:9 . But if man persists, the inevitable blow falls. See Psalms 7:12 . The word borrow is better rendered ask, Exodus 11:2 , r.v. The Hebrew phrase has no suggestion of a... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 11:1-10

In this brief chapter we have the most solemn account of communion between Jehovah and His servant Moses. Pharaoh had rejected God finally, and God had now finally rejected Pharaoh. Jehovah now announced that He Himself would come with the actual stroke of final punishment. He had sent His messengers, Moses and Aaron, and His ministers, blood, and frogs, and lice; flies, and murrain, and boils; hail, and locusts, and darkness. He had waited patiently for the effect of the plagues, allowing... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 11:1-3

The Tenth Plague - The Slaying of the Firstborn (Exodus 11:1 to Exodus 12:36 ). This whole section is constructed on an interesting chiastic pattern: a Israel are to ask the Egyptians for gold and jewellery, etc (Exodus 11:1-3). b All the firstborn in Egypt are to die - there will be a great cry throughout the land - Israel will be told to go (Exodus 11:4-10). c The preparation of the lamb - the sacrifice - the blood on the doorpost it - will be a memorial for ever (Exodus 12:1-14). d... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 11:2

The Israelites, who at first lived distinctly by when they themselves, were greatly multiplied, and Pharaoh began to cast a jealous eye upon them, and to take cruel counsels against them, were more mixed with the Egyptians, as appears from Exodus 12:12,Exodus 12:13, and many other places, either by their own choice, that they might receive protection and sustenance from them; or rather by Pharaoh’s design, who planted many of his own people among them to watch and chastise them, Exodus 1:11;... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 11:1-3

CRITICAL NOTES.—Exodus 11:1. Said unto Moses.] Kalisch renders the verb here as a pluperfect, “had said;” and concludes that the object of these verses is to account for the utterance of the final threat before Moses leaves the presence of Pharaoh:—as though God had previously said this to Moses; and now, the fit moment having come, Moses repeats it to Pharaoh. But it seems doubtful whether the Hebrew imperfect tense with waw consecutive can ever be understood as a pluperfect (see Driver,... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 11:1-10

Shall we turn now in our Bibles now to Exodus, chapter eleven? Up to this point Moses' life seems to be going from one bad experience to worse; sometimes we have that experience too. It looks like just, man, everything we do is wrong, nothing seems to be coming up right. Moses has been before the Pharaoh; he has made his demands. The Pharaoh's heart has been hardened. Egypt has been smitten by God with many plagues. Now the Pharaoh orders him out, orders him, "never to see my face again. The... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 11:1-10

Exodus 11:1. The Lord said to Moses. The 29th verse of the last chapter and this verse ought to be thrown into a parenthesis, then the scope of the history assumes a regular form. Exodus 11:2. Borrow or ask of his neighbour jewels of silver. It was a law of the gentiles, as well as of the Jews, that a servant must not go out empty. The vulgate reads here, vessels of silver and gold; and the LXX add, raiment, which seems to be founded on the law of custom to give a good servant... read more

John Trapp

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Exodus 11:2

Exo 11:2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold. Ver. 2. Borrow of his neighbour. ] This was an extraordinary command, and may not be made a precedent but in the same case, and upon the same warrant. The Lawgiver only can dispense with his own law. Ordinarily it is "the wicked" that "borroweth, and payeth not again." Psa 37:21 read more
