출애굽기 5:5-6 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 5:3-9

Finding that Pharaoh had no veneration at all for God, Moses and Aaron next try whether he had any compassion for Israel, and become humble suitors to him for leave to go and sacrifice, but in vain. I. Their request is very humble and modest, Exod. 5:3. They make no complaint of the rigour they were ruled with. They plead that the journey they designed was not a project formed among themselves, but that their God had met with them, and called them to it. They beg with all submission: We pray... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 5:5

And Pharaoh said, behold, the people of the land now are many ,.... So that if some were taken off, as suggested, there were enough of them to do business and so he cared not; but if allowed to go, they might mutiny and rebel, and give a great deal of trouble to quell them; or it may be, the sense is, they were very numerous, and too numerous already, and if they were took off of their work, and allowed to go a feasting, they would be more so, which agrees with the next clause: and you... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 5:6

And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people ,.... Who were Egyptians, and whom Pharaoh sent for the same day, to give them orders to oppress them yet more and more, so far was he from complying with their request: and their officers ; who were Israelites, and were under the taskmasters, and accountable to them for each man's work that they had the inspection and care of: saying , as follows. read more

The people of the land now are many - The sanguinary edict had no doubt been long before repealed, or they could not have multiplied so greatly. read more

The task-masters of the people and their officers - The task-masters were Egyptians, (see Clarke on Exodus 1:11 ; (note)), the officers were Hebrews; see Clarke below Exodus 5:14 ; (note). But it is probable that the task-masters Exodus 1:11 , who are called מסים שרי sarey missim , princes of the burdens or taxes, were different from those termed taskmasters here, as the words are different; נגשים nogesim signifies exactors or oppressors - persons who exacted from them an... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 5:6

Verse 6 6.And Pharaoh commanded. We shall more clearly perceive, as the narrative proceeds, that these taskmasters and officers were taken from amongst the children of Israel, although we have before read that some were Egyptians. But, as tyrants are ingenious in securing their own interests, Pharaoh in his subtlety wished to provide that none should escape, but that all alike should be brought in turn to the labor. For some, in such a multitude, might have evaded the Egyptians; but, when the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 5:1-5

Having secured the adhesion of the Israelitish people, Moses and Aaron sought an interview with the Egyptian monarch who was now in possession of the throne. According to the bulk of modern authorities, and according to our own views of Egyptian history, this was Menephthah,the son and successor of Rameses II . Menephthah was a weak prince, whom events had favoured, and who had been thus led to have an exalted opinion of himself. A great invasion of Egypt had occurred at the beginning of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 5:1-5

God's will often opposed by the great of the earth, and his servants rebuffed. Encouraged by their success with the elders and with the people ( Exodus 4:29-31 ), Moses and Aaron would stop boldly into the presence of Pharaoh. It was, no doubt, known that they represented the feelings of an entire nation, a nation moreover of whom the Egyptians had begun to be afraid ( Exodus 1:9 , Exodus 1:10 ). The courtiers would treat them, at any rate, with outward politeness and respect. They... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 5:1-5

God's demand and Pharaoh's answer. I. THE DEMAND . 1 . Its modesty. They merely ask liberty to depart on a three days' journey into the wilderness. 2 . It was asked in good faith; it was not a cover for escape. God would give deliverance; but that was left in God's hand; and meanwhile they asked only for liberty to worship him. 3 . Its reasonableness: they could not sacrifice the sacred animals of the Egyptians before their faces. 4 . Its necessity. Pharaoh might not... read more

Failure. " I know not Jehovah," etc.: Exodus 5:2 . We now come face to face with the king. As the king here becomes very prominent, we will keep him conspicuous in the outlining of this address. I. AUDIENCE WITH THE KING . This is a convenient moment for introducing Pharaoh as the terrestrial representative of the Sun, as the vicegerent of Deity upon earth. Does it seem wonderful that men should receive a man in this capacity? But millions of professed Christians in this... read more
