Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 3:3

Psalms 111:2 ; Deuteronomy 29:29 ; Acts 7:31 . How sweetly Moses' intention corresponds with the case of God's people at their first call. Doth not everyone desire to turn aside and see this great sight, how it is that Jesus hath manifested himself to us, and not unto the world. John 14:22 . read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Exodus 3:2

The Lord appeared. That is, and angel representing God, and speaking in his name. (Challoner) (Acts vii. 30; Galatians iii. 19.) --- The apparitions of God to the patriarchs are generally understood in this sense. (St. Augustine, de Trin. iii. 11.) (Worthington) --- Yet many of the Fathers suppose, that this angel was no other than the Son of God, the angel of the great council, (Malachias iii. 1,) and St. Augustine (q. 2, in Ex.) does not disapprove of this opinion. (Calmet) --- Not burnt.... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 3:1-6

1-6 The years of the life of Moses are divided into three forties; the first forty he spent as a prince in Pharaoh's court, the second as a shepherd in Midian, the third as a king in Jeshurun. How changeable is the life of man! The first appearance of God to Moses, found him tending sheep. This seems a poor employment for a man of his parts and education, yet he rests satisfied with it; and thus learns meekness and contentment, for which he is more noted in sacred writ, than for all his... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 3:1-6

The Burning Bush v. 1. Now Moses kept, was pasturing, the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, whose given name was Reuel, Exodus 2:18; and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, beyond the wilderness which separated the country of the Midianites from the Sinaitic mountain range, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb, named so here on account of its later importance in the history of Israel. Even after the lower valleys are dried up, the upper regions... read more

C.—The call of Moses. His refusal and obedience. His association with Aaron and their first mission to the people of IsraelExodus 3:41Now Moses kept [was pasturing] the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the back side of [behind] the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. 2And the angel of Jehovah appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a [the] bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 3:1-12

God’s Message from the Bush Exodus 3:1-12 The learning of Egypt was not sufficient to equip Moses for his life-work. He is taken to the solitudes of the wilderness. That is God’s college. All who have done the greatest work in the world have graduated there-Elijah at Horeb, Ezekiel at Chebar, Paul in Arabia, and John in Patmos. God’s workers may take their arts course in the universities, but must take their Divinity course alone with Him. Often in the middle of daily duty we come on the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 3:1-22

At last the actual call of God came to Moses. It found him fulfilling a daily duty, keeping the sheep of his father-in-law. There can be no doubt that in the silent solitudes of the wilderness he had meditated on the condition of his people. Forty years, however, changes any man. The fiery impetuosity which characterized him at forty had matured into self-restraint and meekness at eighty. In the mysterious fire manifestation God said to His servant certain things which lie at the foundation... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Exodus 3:1-8

God Reveals Himself to Moses Exodus 3:1-8 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As we enter the Scripture for today we find Moses eighty years of age. He had spent forty years in Egypt and forty years with Jethro, his father-in-law in Midian. During all of those years the eyes of God were upon His servant. God saw Moses steadily developing into the man whom He had chosen to lead His people. At the same time the eyes of God were fixed upon the people of Israel. He knew their burdens, and He shared their sorrows,... read more

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 3:1-5

The Call of Moses (Exodus 3:1 to Exodus 4:17 ). What has gone before was preparatory to what follows. It is now that the main story of the book begins, which will take us from God’s call to Moses, to the establishment of the covenant at Sinai and the erecting of God’s earthly Dwellingplace, over a period of about two years. But note the care that has been taken over the training of this man we see before us. He does not know it but he has been fully prepared by God. In Egypt he has been... read more
