Exodus 1:7-9

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Exodus 1:1-10

Exodus 1 Exo_2:10 . The book of Exodus opens with a recapitulation of the sons of Jacob, and with the fact that not only Joseph died but all his brethren and all that generation. But in spite of this their descendents multiplied exceedingly. God was with them and they grew to be a powerful people in the land of Goshen. As the years lengthened out, a great change came over the whole situation, occasioned by the rising up of a new king, who "knew not Joseph." This expression may not mean that he... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 1:1-7

The Rapid Growth of the People v. 1. Now these are the names of the children of Israel which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob: v. 2. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, v. 3. Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, v. 4. Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. v. 5. And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls; for Joseph was in Egypt already. The order is: the sons of Leah, the son of Rachel, the sons of Rachel's handmaid, the sons of Leah's... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 1:8-14

Pharaoh Plans to Curb the Growth v. 8. Now there arose up a new king over Egypt which knew not Joseph. The expression "arose up" indicates either that the new Pharaoh adopted entirely new policies with reference to the strange people within the boundaries of his land, or that a new dynasty was founded by conquest or by the overthrow of that which had been friendly to the people of Joseph, the savior of Egypt. This new Pharaoh knew not Joseph, either because he was entirely unfamiliar with the... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Exodus 1:6-7

Exodus FOUR SHAPING CENTURIES DEATH AND GROWTH Exo_1:6 - - Exo_1:7 . These remarkable words occur in a short section which makes the link between the Books of Genesis and of Exodus. The writer recapitulates the list of the immigrants into Egypt, in the household of Jacob, and then, as it were, having got them there, he clears the stage to prepare for a new set of actors. These few words are all that he cares to tell us about a period somewhat longer than that which separates us from the... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Exodus 1:8-14

Exodus FOUR SHAPING CENTURIES Exo_1:1 - - Exo_1:14 . The four hundred years of Israel’s stay in Egypt were divided into two unequal periods, in the former and longer of which they were prosperous and favoured, while in the latter they were oppressed. Both periods had their uses and place in the shaping of the nation and its preparation for the Exodus. Both carry permanent lessons. I. The long days of unclouded prosperity. These extended over centuries, the whole history of which is summed... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 1:1-14

the Children of Israel Afflicted Exodus 1:1-14 The buried seed began to bear an abundant harvest, notwithstanding the efforts of Pharaoh and his people. The kings of the earth take counsel together to thwart the divine purpose. They might as well seek to arrest the incoming tide. The days of persecution and opposition have always been the growing days of the Church. The new king probably belonged to a great dynasty, intent on preventing the recurrence of shepherd domination. The first move... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 1:1-22

The first word of Exodus, "Now," might with equal accuracy be rendered "And." Either word serves to suggest continuity. The story of Genesis is taken up in Exodus. It begins by recording the prolific and rapid growth of the sons of Jacob in Egypt. They "were fruitful . . . increased abundantly . . . multiplied . . . waxed exceeding mighty . . . the land was filled with them." The progress of God is seen. After the fathers, the children, and the program of God is carried forward. Jacob and his... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Exodus 1:1-14

The Birth and Youth of Moses Exodus 1:1-14 , Exodus 1:22 INTRODUCTORY WORDS By way of introduction, we wish to discuss the meaning of the word, "Exodus." The first Book of the Bible is Genesis; it is the Book of the Beginnings. It is, however, more than a Book of Beginnings. It is the Book of Entrance of entrance into sin, and into shame, into all of those deep and dismal details of iniquity. As we come into the Book of Exodus, we have set before us in clear and graphic language not only the... read more

The People Multiply And Are Put To Hard Labour (Exodus 1:6-12 ). The careful patterning continues: a Joseph dies and all his generation (Exodus 1:6). b The children of Israel are fruitful and multiply (Exodus 1:7). c A new king arises who does not know Joseph (Exodus 1:8). d He calls on his people to deal wisely with the children of Israel (Exodus 1:9-10). c They set over them taskmasters and make them do building work (Exodus 1:11). b The numbers of the children of Israel... read more
