John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 6:10
Verse 10 10.And the Lord spake unto Moses. Moses more clearly sets forth how indulgently God bore with the malevolent repulse of the people; the just reward of which would have been, that He should have suffered them to rot a hundred times over in their miseries, when they so obstinately rushed to their own destruction. It is, therefore, of His extraordinary loving-kindness, that He ceases not to aid those who are willing to perish. Moreover, it must be observed, that Moses was strengthened by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 6:9-12
The contagion of despair. I. ISRAEL 'S REJECTION OF THE PROFFERED CONSOLATION . They hearkened not "for anguish of spirit and for cruel bondage." 1 . The sympathy of the Word of God. Their case stated not only fairly but with infinite compassion. 2 . Israel's folly. Their anguish is permitted to stand between them and God their only helper—their sickness between them and the great Physician; multitudes will not hear because they have no sense of need, and multitudes... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 6:9-30
Shaken faith, and an unshaken purpose. In these verses we have— I. A PAINFUL RESULT OF AFFLICTIVE PROVIDENCE . The children of Israel, hard-driven by their taskmasters, and sunk in misery, were so stupefied with sorrow, as to have no longer any heart for their cheering tidings brought to them by Moses. Their despair had its ground in unbelief. They judged Moses a deceiver. They had trusted him before, and they reflected that the only outcome of it had been this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 6:10-12
The Israelites having shown themselves, for the time, unimpressible, God commands Moses to make his next effort upon the Pharaoh. He is to enter into his presence once more, and demand, without circumlocution or obscurity, that the Israelites be allowed to quit the land ( Exodus 6:11 ). Moses, however, demurs. He had done God's will with respect to the people readily and at once, expecting that , as he had persuaded them before, so he would a second time. But he had been... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 6:1-27
5:1-15:21 DELIVERANCE FROM EGYPTMoses’ first meeting with Pharaoh (5:1-6:27)In the eyes of the Israelites, Moses’ first meeting with Pharaoh was a disaster. Pharaoh had no fear of Yahweh and no concern for Yahweh’s people. In fact, when Moses asked to take his people into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, Pharaoh responded by accusing the Israelites of laziness and making their work harder (5:1-14). This not only increased the suffering of the Israelites but also caused them to turn... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 6:10-13
"And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land. And Moses spake before Jehovah, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips? And Jehovah spake unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.""Let the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 6:10-13
Moses continued to claim lack of persuasive skill in speech (Exodus 6:12; cf. Exodus 6:30). He failed to grasp the full significance of what God had just revealed to him. Jesus’ disciples, and we, had and have the same problem. It was God, not Moses, who would bring the people out of Egypt."Seven distinct objections were raised by Moses as reasons why he should not undertake the arduous task to which he was called. They have been thus epitomised [sic]: Lack of fitness, ’who am I, that I should... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 6:10-13
Here, I. God sends Moses the second time to Pharaoh (Exod. 6:11) upon the same errand as before, to command him, at his peril, that he let the children of Israel go. Note, God repeats his precepts before he begins his punishments. Those that have often been called in vain to leave their sins must yet be called again and again, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, Ezek. 3:1. God is said to hew sinners by his prophets (Hos. 6:5), which denotes the repetition of the strokes. How... read more
