Exodus 6:28-30 - Exposition

The remainder of this chapter is scarcely more than a recapitulation. The author, or compiler, having interposed his genealogical section, has to take up the narrative from Exodus 6:12 , where he broke off, and does so by almost repeating the words of Exodus 6:10-12 . The only important addition is the insertion of the words—" I am the Lord" ( Exodus 6:29 ), and the only important variation, the substitution of "Speak thou unto Pharaoh all that I say unto thee ' (ibid.), for "Speak unto Pharaoh … that he let the children of Israel go out of his land" ( Exodus 6:11 ).
