Êxodo 1:7-11 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 1:1-7

In these verses we have, 1. A recital of the names of the twelve patriarchs, as they are called, Acts 7:8. Their names are often repeated in scripture, that they may not sound uncouth to us, as other hard names, but that, by their occurring so frequently, they may become familiar to us; and to show how precious God's spiritual Israel are to him, and how much he delights in them. 2. The account which was kept of the number of Jacob's family, when they went down into Egypt; they were in all... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 1:8-14

The land of Egypt here, at length, becomes to Israel a house of bondage, though hitherto it had been a happy shelter and settlement for them. Note, The place of our satisfaction may soon become the place of our affliction, and that may prove the greatest cross to us of which we said, This same shall comfort us. Those may prove our sworn enemies whose parents were our faithful friends; nay, the same persons that loved us may possibly turn to hate us: therefore cease from man, and say not... read more

And the children of Israel were fruitful ,.... In their offspring; became like fruitful trees, as the word signifies: and increased abundantly ; like creeping things, or rather like fishes, which increase very much, see Genesis 1:20 . and multiplied ; became very numerous, whereby the promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, were fulfilled: and waxed exceeding mighty ; were hale, and strong, of good constitutions, able bodied men, and so more dreaded by the Egyptians: a heap... read more

Now there arose up a new king over Egypt ,.... Stephen calls him another king, Acts 7:18 one of another family, according to Josephus F7 Antiqu. l. 2. c. 9. sect. 1. ; who was not of the seed royal, as Aben Ezra; and Sir John Marsham F8 Canon.

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 1:9

And he said unto his people ,.... His princes, nobles, and courtiers about him, his principal ministers of state: behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we : which could not be true in fact, but is said to stir up his nobles to attend to what he was about to say, and to work upon them to take some speedy measures for the crushing of this people; for that they were more in number, and mightier in power and wealth than the Egyptians, it was impossible; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 1:10

Come on ,.... Which is a word of exhortation, stirring up to a quick dispatch of business, without delay, the case requiring haste, and some speedy and a matter of indifference: let us deal wisely with them ; form some wise schemes, take some crafty methods to weaken and diminish them gradually; not with open force of arms, but in a more private and secret manner, and less observed: lest they multiply ; yet more and more, so that in time it may be a very difficult thing to keep them... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 1:7

The children of Israel were fruitful - פרו paru , a general term, signifying that they were like healthy trees, bringing forth an abundance of fruit.

Abundantly - ירבו yirbu , they multiplied; this is a separate term, and should not have been used as an adverb by our translators. And waxed exceeding mighty - מאד במאד ויעצמו ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 1:8

There arose up a new king - Who this was it is difficult to say. It was probably Ramesses Miamun, or his son Amenophis, who succeeded him in the government of Egypt about A. M. 2400, before Christ 1604. Which knew not Joseph - The verb ידע yada , which we translate to know, often signifies to acknowledge or approve.
