Wells of Living Water Commentary - Exodus 3:1-8

God Reveals Himself to Moses Exodus 3:1-8 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As we enter the Scripture for today we find Moses eighty years of age. He had spent forty years in Egypt and forty years with Jethro, his father-in-law in Midian. During all of those years the eyes of God were upon His servant. God saw Moses steadily developing into the man whom He had chosen to lead His people. At the same time the eyes of God were fixed upon the people of Israel. He knew their burdens, and He shared their sorrows,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 3:8

I am come down: this word notes God’s manifestation of himself and his favour, and giving help from heaven. See Genesis 18:21. It was a good land and a large, not only comparatively to Goshen, where they now dwelt, and to the number of the Israelites at that time; but absolutely, if you take the Land of Promise according to its true, and first, and ancient bounds of it, as you have them described, Genesis 15:18; Deuteronomy 1:7; Deuteronomy 11:24, and not according to those narrow limits to... read more

The sufferings to which the Israelites were exposed. “I have seen the affliction of my people.” They were afflicted by a tyrant king—a hostile nation—oppressive taskmasters—unremunerative work.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Exodus 3:1-14

Exodus 3:1-14 This narrative is a chain of glorious wonders. We see here I. An old man called to go out on the great errand of his life. The education of Moses for the great mission of his life lasted eighty years. God never sends forth fruit until the season is fitted for the fruit, and the fruit for the season; when the hour was ready for the man, and the man for the hour, then God sent forth Moses. II. The burning bush from which that call was sounded. (1) This was a sign to indicate the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Exodus 3:7

Exodus 3:7 Quite apart from its religious significance, there is no other historical phenomenon that is to be compared for a moment in interest with this ever-growing wonder of the Jewish race. The light falls clearly and steadily on its history from first to last. The whole connected story lies before us like a mighty river, which from some high mountain summit you can trace from its fountain to the ocean. I. The history of this people is thus the history of mankind in its central seats of... read more
