Exodus 14:4-9

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 14:3-4

Exodus 14:3-4. Pharaoh will say they are entangled He will presume that you are hemmed in between the rocks and the sea. I will harden Pharaoh’s heart See note on Exodus 4:21; Exodus 7:13-14. The meaning is, that Pharaoh would take occasion, from the apparently distressed situation the Israelites were now in, enclosed with mountains, deserts, and Egyptian garrisons, to harden his heart. He would even be so desperate as to attempt to follow and bring them back again into their former state... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 14:5

Exodus 14:5. It was told the king that the people fled As they had been ordered by the Lord to turn a different way from that which led directly to mount Horeb, it is probable that, as soon as Pharaoh heard of it, he concluded they had no intention of going thither, but were escaping out of Egypt. He either forgot, or would not own, that they had departed with his consent; and therefore was willing it should be represented to him as a revolt from their allegiance. Why have we done this? ... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 14:7

Exodus 14:7. Six hundred chosen chariots The strength of ancient Egypt, which is a plain country, consisted in cavalry and military chariots. Indeed, it appears from sundry passages of Scripture, that the eastern nations in general, in the early ages of the world, made great use of armed chariots in war. Captains over every one of them Or rather over all of them, distributing the command of them to his several captains. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 14:9-10

Exodus 14:9-10. Chariots and horsemen It seems he took no foot with him, because the king’s business required haste. The children of Israel cried out unto the Lord Partly by petition, and partly by complaint and expostulation; probably, however, more from despair than trust in God, for they were sore afraid, and their fears were aggravated by the presence and outcries of their wives and children. They knew the strength of the enemy, and their own weakness; numerous indeed they were, but... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 14:1-31

Final triumph over Egypt (13:17-14:31)When they left Egypt, the Israelites did not go by way of the Mediterranean coast, as this was well defended by the Egyptians and war would certainly have resulted. Instead they went east towards the Red Sea (17-18). (A literal translation for the name of this stretch of water is Sea of Reeds. It was not the 200 kilometre wide sea that we today call the Red Sea, but probably an extension of the Red Sea’s north-western arm, the Gulf of Suez. It seems to have... read more
