Exodus 14:24, Exodus 14:25 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 14:21-31

We have here the history of that work of wonder which is so often mentioned both in the Old and New Testament, the dividing of the Red Sea before th 3b1a e children of Israel. It was the terror of the Canaanites (Josh. 2:9, 10), the praise and triumph of the Israelites, Ps. 114:3; Ps. 106:9; 136:13, 14. It was a type of baptism, 1 Cor. 10:1, 2. Israel's passage through it was typical of the conversion of souls (Isa. 11:15), and the Egyptians? perdition in it was typical of the final ruin of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 14:24

And it came to pass, that in the morning watch ,.... The Romans divided the night into four watches, so the Hebrews; though some say into three only. The first began at six o'clock, and lasted till nine, the second was from thence to twelve, the third from thence to three in the morning, and the last from three to six, which is here called the morning watch; so that this was some time between three and six o'clock in the morning: the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians, through the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 14:24

The morning watch - A watch was the fourth part of the time from sun-setting to sun-rising; so called from soldiers keeping guard by night, who being changed four times during the night, the periods came to be called watches. - Dodd. As here and in 1 Samuel 11:11 ; is mentioned the morning watch; so in Lamentations 2:19 , the beginning of the watches; and in Judges 7:19 , the middle watch is spoken of; in Luke 12:38 , the second and third watch; and in Matthew 14:25 , the fourth... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 14:24

Verse 24 24.And it came to pass, that, in the morning-watch. In the morning the angel began to look upon the Egyptians, not that they had escaped his sight before; but for the purpose of destroying them by sudden submersion, though he had seemed previously to forget them, when hidden by the cloud. (157) And first, He opened their eyes, that too late they might see whither their mad impetuosity had brought them; and also that they might perceive how they were contending not with man only, but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 14:13-31

God completes the deliverance of the Israelites from Pharaoh and removes their terror. I. NOTE THE WAY IN WHICH MOSES MEETS THE COMPLAINTS OF THE ISRAELITES . They had addressed to him sarcastic, flippant, and in every way unworthy speeches. They were not so filled with fear, not so occupied with the troubles of their own hearts, but that they could find a malignant delight in striving to make him ridiculous. This mingling of feelings on their part, fear mingled... read more

The goodness and severity of God. I. WHAT GOD IS TO HIS OWN IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE . 1 . He comes between them and their foes. God's presence is between us and our enemies, and they can do no more against us than his love permits. 2 . He is light to them in the time of peril. 3 . The waters are divided before them However much our way may seem hedged in, God's arm will open up a path for us. 4 . The way was not only a path of escape, but one of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 14:23-30

God's dealings with the wicked and impenitent. If the passage of Israel through the Red Sea shows conspicuously God's protection of his people in the time of trouble, the overthrow of the Egyptians indicates, at least as conspicuously, his execution of wrath upon the wicked. I. First of all, IT IS NOTICEABLE HOW HIS EYE UPON THEIR HEARTS , LOOKING INTO THEM THROUGH THE CLOUD AND DARKNESS WHEREIN THEY ARE ENVELOPED , TROUBLES THEM . Bad men... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 14:23-31

The overthrow of the Egyptians. "The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea," etc. On this observe:— I. THE INFATUATION OF THE PURSUERS ( Exodus 14:23 ). We do not speak of the lessons they had already received as to the folly of contending with Jehovah. The plagues were past. The memory of them had been cast behind their backs. What we do wonder at is, that when the Egyptians reached the shore, and saw there what they did see, they were not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 14:24

In the morning watch . The "morning watch" of the Hebrews at this period of their history lasted from 2 a.m. to sunrise. Sunrise in Egypt, early in April, would take place about a quarter to six . The Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians . The description in Psalms 77:17 , Psalms 77:18 , is generally regarded as belonging to this point in the narrative of the Exodus, and may be considered as the traditional exposition of it. "The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a... read more
