Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 5:1-9

CRITICAL NOTES.—Exodus 5:1. Hold a feast] That is, of course, a religious festival,—a “holyday,” as the same word is rendered Psalms 42:4; “with processions and dancing,” of we keep close to the primary meaning of the Hebrew word châ ghagh “to move in a circle.” However open to abuse, we cannot afford to let slip the propriety of joy in worship.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 5:1-23

Chapter 5And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told the Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness. And Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, that I should obey his voice and let Israel go? [Well you'll find out, buddy.] I know not Jehovah, neither will I let Israel go ( Exodus 5:1-2 ).So a definite challenge to God by the Pharaoh. "Who is Jehovah that I should let the people go? I don't know him and I'm not gonna let them... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 5:1-23

Exodus 5:1. Moses and Aaron, accompanied by the elders, as in Exodus 6:26, went to Pharaoh. Exodus 5:2. Who is Jehovah? I know not JEHOVAH. The mythology of the gentiles supposed every city, and every country or nation to have its own god, or rather goddess, mothers being supposed to be more tender-hearted than fathers. Thus Minerva was supposed to be the presiding divinity over Athens; and Diana to be the goddess of the Ephesians. Thus we find Moses accommodating himself to the ideas... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 5:6-9

6-9. Increase of the oppression is the fierce and despotic reply to their request . Two grades of officers are now mentioned in addition to the sarim, or Egyptian superintendents, mentioned Exodus 1:11, namely, the (Egyptian) overseers rendered taskmasters and (Hebrew) scribes, ( shoterim,) rendered officers. These Hebrew shoterim, or scribes, were so called because of the great amount of writing which the Egyptian method of supervision required. Writing was used as much in the... read more
