Êxodo 2:25 NVIPT

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 2:1-25

Birth and Early Life of Moses1. The names of the father and mother of Moses were Amram and Jochebed respectively (see Exodus 6:20). Two children were born to them before Moses. The oldest was a daughter called Miriam (i.e. Mary), who was a young woman at the time when Moses was born (see Exodus 2:8); and the second was a son, Aaron, who was born three years before Moses (see Exodus 7:7) and presumably before Pharaoh’s exterminating edict: cp. Numbers 26:59.2. Hid him three months] This defiance... read more

Exodus 2:4 Moses never had a stronger prediction about him, no not when all his Israelites were pitched about his tent in the wilderness, than now when he lay sprawling alone upon the waves; no water, no Egyptian can hurt him. Neither friend nor brother dare own him, and now God challenges his custody. When we seem most neglected and forlorn in ourselves, then is God most present, most vigilant. Bishop Hall. Exodus 2:6 See here the merciful daughter of a cruel father. It is an uncharitable and... read more

CHAPTER III.THE BURNING BUSH.Exodus 2:23 - Exodus 3:1-22"In process of time the king of Egypt died," probably the great Raamses, no other of whose dynasty had a reign which extended over the indicated period of time. If so, he had while living every reason to expect an immortal fame, as the greatest among Egyptian kings, a hero, a conqueror on three continents, a builder of magnificent works. But he has only won an immortal notoriety. "Every stone in his buildings was cemented in human blood."... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 2:1-25

THE BIRTH AND PROTECTION OF MOSES (vs.1-10) God's hand of overruling power and grace is seen beautifully in this chapter. There is nothing spectacular, but an incident takes place that would be normally unnoticed. A man of the tribe of Levi, Amram by name, married a woman (Jochebed) of the same tribe, who gave birth to a son. However, not being afraid of the king's commandment, and being specially encouraged by the beauty of the child, she hid him for three months. Hebrews 11:23 tells us... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Exodus 2:23-25

THE CALL OF MOSES The Egyptian records refer to Moses. Rameses, said by many to be the Pharaoh of the Exodus, built a great monument on which he made an inscription naming the nobility who were present when it was erected. Toward the end of the list he mentions “The ra-Moses, Child of the Lady and Priestess of the Sun God Ra.” Note the peculiarity of the description. “The ra-Moses” means some distinguished ra-Moses, while “Child of the Lady” describes a situation and relation not unlike... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 2:10-25

Moses In Midian Exo 2:10 There seems to be a considerable gap between the ninth verse and the tenth. We parted with Moses when he was three months old, and we know nothing more of him until he became the son of Pharaoh's daughter. We wish to know something of his home training. We would fain pry into the mother's methods of dealing with such a child. What truths did she inculcate upon him? How did she explain the condition of the children of Israel to her son? Did she seek to prejudice his... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 2:25

REFLECTIONS How often do the very plans of bad men counteract their own designs! How frequently hath it been known, that the schemes of the ungodly to oppress the righteous have ultimately proved their very means of deliverance? Little did the tyrant of Egypt think when he issued the cruel edict for the murder of his harmless subjects, that his own daughter should be made the unconscious instrument of rescuing the very one whom the Lord would raise up to destroy his empire. Little did the Jews... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 2:23-25

23-25 The Israelites' bondage in Egypt continued, though the murdering of their infants did not continue. Sometimes the Lord suffers the rod of the wicked to lie very long and very heavy on the lot of the righteous. At last they began to think of God under their troubles. It is a sign that the Lord is coming towards us with deliverance, when he inclines and enables us to cry to him for it. God heard their groaning; he made it to appear that he took notice of their complaints. He remembered his... read more
