Exodus 10:2

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 10:1-11

Here, I. Moses is instructed. We may well suppose that he, for his part, was much astonished both at Pharaoh's obstinacy and at God's severity, and could not but be compassionately concerned for the desolations of Egypt, and at a loss to conceive what this contest would come to at last. Now here God tells him what he designed, not only Israel's release, but the magnifying of his own name: That thou mayest tell in thy writings, which shall continue to the world's end, what I have wrought in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 10:2

And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son ,.... Not of his sons and grandsons only; for Moses here, as Aben Ezra observes, was in the stead of Israel; and the sense is, that it should be told to their posterity in all succeeding ages: what things I have wrought in Egypt ; the plagues that he inflicted on the Egyptians: and my signs which I have done amongst them ; meaning the same things which were signs: that ye may know how that I am the Lord ; that... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 10:2

That thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son - That the miracles wrought at this time might be a record for the instruction of the latest posterity, that Jehovah alone, the God of the Hebrews, was the sole Maker, Governor, and Supporter of the heavens and the earth. Thus we find God so did his marvelous works, that they might be had in everlasting remembrance. It was not to crush the poor worm, Pharaoh, that he wrought such mighty wonders, but to convince his enemies, to the end of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 10:1-2

God's mercies and wondrous works to be kept in perpetual remembrance. Man's forgetfulness of God's benefits is one of the saddest features of his existing condition and character. He needs continual urging and exhortation to the duty of remembering them. I. HE FORGETS ESPECIALLY THOSE BENEFITS WHICH ARE CONSTANT AND CONTINUOUS . (a) Temporal benefits. Life, strength, health, intellect, the power to act, the capacity to enjoy, the ability to think, speak, write,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 10:1-7

A new Message. Even yet God had not done with the King of Egypt. He sends Moses again to ply him with reproof and threatening. The final stroke is put off as long as possible. If "by all means" ( 1 Corinthians 9:22 ) Pharaoh can be saved, he will not be lost for want of the opportunity. God tells Moses his design in dealing with the monarch as he did, and gives him a new message to carry to the royal presence. I. GOD 'S DESIGN ( Exodus 10:1 , Exodus 10:2 ). He had hardened... read more

God's Judgments on sin and their results for the righteous and the wicked. I. THE FRUITS FOR GOD 'S PEOPLE OF HIS JUDGMENTS UPON HIS ENEMIES . 1 . The plagues of Egypt were to be an example to all the generations of Israel ( Exodus 10:2 ). 2 . It was the prophecy of how God will sanctify his people in the latter days. 3 . How God sanctifies his people now. Their prolonged waiting and suffering is storing up power for the future. The night of trial... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 10:1-19

The Eighth Plague: the locusts. I. CONSIDER THE EMPHATIC STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE HARDENING OF THE HEART . In Exodus 9:34 we are told that when the hail and the thunder ceased, Pharaoh hardened his heart, he and his servants. Note here two things: 1 . How Pharaoh's heart was hardened just after he had made a confession of sin; from which we see how little he understood by the word "sin," and how little he meant by the confession. 2 . The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 10:2

That thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son . The Psalms show how after generations dwelt in thought upon the memory of the great deeds done in Egypt and the deliverance wrought there. (See especially Psalms 78:1-72 ; Psalms 105:1-45 ; Psalms 106:1-48 ; but compare also Psalms 68:6 , Psalms 68:7 ; Psalms 77:14-20 ; Psalms 81:5 , Psalms 81:6 ; Psalms 114:1-3 ; Psalms 135:8 , Psalms 135:9 ; Psalms 136:10-15 .) read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 10:2

The tales of a grandfather. Jehovah tells Moses, as the representative of Israel, that these glorious Divine actions in Egypt are to be matters of careful instruction in after ages. Each parent is to speak of them to his children, and each grandparent to his grandchildren. And is there not something particularly suggestive in this expression, "thy son's son"? It brings before us the aged Israelite, his own part in the toil and strife of the world accomplished, his strength exhausted, the... read more
