Exodus 6:25

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 6:14-30

I. We have here a genealogy, not an endless one, such as the apostle condemns (1 Tim. 1:4), for it ends in those two great patriots Moses and Aaron, and comes in here to show that they were Israelites, bone of their bone and flesh of their flesh whom they were sent to deliver, raised up unto them of their brethren, as Christ also should be, who was to be the prophet and priest, the Redeemer and lawgiver, of the people of Israel, and whose genealogy also, like this, was to be carefully... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 6:25

And Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife ,.... This was Aaron's eldest son. The person, whose daughter he married, Dr. Lightfoot F13 Works, vol. 1. p. 704, 705. conjectures was an Egyptian convert, perhaps of the posterity of Potipherah, among whom Joseph had sowed the seeds of true religion, and supposes that the Egyptians used the name of Puti or Poti, either in memorial of their uncle Put, Genesis 10:6 or in reverence of some deity of that name; but... 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 6:13-27

At this point the narrative is interrupted The author, or the final compiler—perhaps Joshua—thought it desirable to insert here a genealogical section, taking up the fatuity history of Israel from the point at which it was left in Exodus 1:5 , where the sons of Jacob were enumerated. The whole political system of Israel was based upon the tribal relation; and it was of the last importance, politically, to hand down the divisions and subdivisions of families. The lists here given,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 6:13-27

The historical character of real revelation. Among the religions of the world which are based on the contents of a written volume, none has such an historical character as the religion of Christians. Most nations have evolved their religion out of their internal consciousness, and have then, after a certain lapse of time, thrown into a narrative form the supposed revelations made to this or that individual secretly, and by him committed to writing. These revelations—to give them the... read more

Eleazar … took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife . Putiel is not elsewhere mentioned. The name is thought to be half Egyptian (compare Poti-phar) and to mean "dedicated to God." She bare him Phinehas. This Phinehas became high priest on the death of Eleazar ( 20:28 ). The heads of the fathom i.e. "the patriarchal chiefs." 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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 6:25

Exodus 6:25. Eleazar—took him one of the daughters of Putiel— Eleazar succeeded his father in the priesthood, and assisted Joshua in the division of the land of Canaan. It is thought that this Putiel, whose daughter he married, was an Egyptian; as the name Putiel, seems derived from Phut, the brother of Mizraim, Gen 10:6 with the addition of El, the name of God. read more
