Exodus 12:35

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 12:1-51

While the subjects necessarily intermingle at this point, we turn from the contemplation of the judgments of Jehovah in dealing with Pharaoh to that of deliverance in His dealings with Israel. As these people were now to pass into national constitution, the calendar was altered. A rite was established which was called an ordinance, a feast, a sacrifice. Thus at the very beginning the nation was reminded that it was rooted in the fact of deliverance wrought by God through sacrifice. The story... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 12:31-36

The Final Farewell (Exodus 12:31-36 ). Yahweh has delivered the final telling blow and Pharaoh tells Moses and Aaron that very night that they may go with all that they have and worship Yahweh, and seeks his right as their overlord to expect a blessing from their God. They thus depart loaded with riches as the Egyptians, eager to see them go, pour treasures on them, probably with the hope of placating Yahweh. a Pharaoh calls Moses and Aaron by night and tells them all to go and serve Yahweh... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 12:35

They borrowed of the Egyptians, either before this time, as they had opportunity, when their hearts were mollified by the foregoing plagues; or even at this time, when the Israelites might well take confidence to borrow, and the Egyptians would be willing to lend them, partly that they might gain their affections and prayers, and partly that they might more readily depart from them. Jewels, wherewith they used to adorn themselves in the worship of their idols, and therefore supposed the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Exodus 12:30-41

Exodus 12:30-41 (with Matthew 2:15 ) I. We cannot treat the Exodus as an isolated fact in history. Egypt is the type of the cunning, careless, wanton world, out of which in all ages God is calling His sons. The Exodus remained a living fact in history. The infant Jesus went down into Egypt, as the infant Israel went down, not to repeat the Exodus, but to illume afresh its fading lines. (1) The children of Israel were an elect race, because they were of the seed of Abraham: that constituted... read more

Chapter 12The Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you ( Exodus 12:1-2 ).Now in a few weeks the Jews are gonna be celebrating New Year's, Rosh Hashana. How come they're celebrating New Year's now, if this month April was to be the first month of the year? Well, they have a religious calendar. Their religious year begins in April.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 12:1-51

Exodus 12:2. The first month of the year. This is called Abib, Exodus 13:4; and Nisan, Esther 3:7. It was before the seventh month, hence the earth is supposed to have been created in September; but now in commemoration of their deliverance from Egypt, the ecclesiastical table which regulated the festivals, was ordered to begin with Abib. Many nations have reckoned their existence from some important era in their history: and in this view it was highly proper for the christian church to... read more

Exodus 12:33; Exodus 12:35The Egyptians were urgent upon the people that they might send them out of the land.Hastened out of Egypt1. Note the reason of this urgency. Fear lest death overtake them all.2. Note the utter selfishness of the motive. No true repentance in it.3. Urgency is fitting when there is imminent danger.4. There is the greatest need of urgency in every sinner’s case. Doom and death are at hand. (Homiletic Review.)The Israelites going out of Egyptian bondage; or, the freedom of... read more
