Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 3:13

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 3:14

Exodus 3:14. God said Two names God would be known by: 1st, A name that speaks what he is in himself, I AM THAT I AM. The Septuagint renders the words ειμι ο ων , I AM the existing Being, or HE WHO IS; and the Chaldee, I AM HE WHO IS, and WHO WILL BE. That is, I am He that enjoys an essential, independent, immutable, and necessary existence, He that IS , and WAS, and IS TO COME. It explains his name Jehovah, and signifies, 1st, That he is self- existent: he has his being of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 3:1-12

God calls Moses (3:1-12)While Moses was minding sheep at Mount Sinai (also called Mount Horeb, after the range in which it was situated), the unseen God, who for eighty years had silently guided his life, made himself known to him. The revelation of God in the burning bush showed that though this God was unapproachably holy, he could dwell among earthly things without destroying them (3:1-6).God was now going to use Moses to deliver his people from bondage in Egypt and bring them into a new... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 3:13-22

The God of Israel (3:13-22)If Moses was to present himself to the people of Israel as the one who would lead them out of Egypt, he would need to convince them that he knew God’s purposes for them. But he doubted whether they would understand, since they did not know the character of him whom they vaguely called the God of their ancestors. In asking God for help in explaining his purposes to them, Moses was wanting to know not simply the name of God, but the character of the God who owned that... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 3:9-11

"And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: moreover I have seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?"God here flatly proposed to Moses that Moses himself should lead the people up out of Egypt,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 3:12

"And he said, Certainly, I will be with thee; and this shall be the token unto thee: when thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.""Certainly I will be with thee ..." This was the factor that caused Moses to be willing to go. He would know, as did the apostle Paul long afterward, that, "I can do all things through him that strengtheneth me," and that, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" read more
