Exodus 6:26-30

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 6:14-30

I. We have here a genealogy, not an endless one, such as the apostle condemns (1 Tim. 1:4), for it ends in those two great patriots Moses and Aaron, and comes in here to show that they were Israelites, bone of their bone and flesh of their flesh whom they were sent to deliver, raised up unto them of their brethren, as Christ also should be, who was to be the prophet and priest, the Redeemer and lawgiver, of the people of Israel, and whose genealogy also, like this, was to be carefully... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 6:26

These are that Aaron and Moses ,.... Aaron is set before Moses, because he was the eldest, and because he prophesied in Egypt before Moses, as Aben Ezra observes; though Moses was greater in dignity than he, and therefore the true reason may be the modesty of Moses; though in a following verse Moses is set before Aaron, to show that they were equal, as Jarchi thinks; and perhaps the thing was quite an indifference to the historian, and done without any care and intention, however these words... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 6:27

These are they which spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt ,.... In the name of the Lord of hosts; and demanded the dismission of Israel, in order to bring the children of Israel from Egypt ; nor did they desist making application to him, until they had prevailed upon him to let them go: these are that Moses and Aaron ; which is repeated, that it may be observed who were the deliverers of Israel, what their names, of what tribe they were, and from whom they descended, and who sprung from... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 6:28

And it came to pass on the day when the Lord spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt. This verse depends upon the following for the sense of it, which shows what it was the Lord said to Moses in the day he spake to him in Egypt, when he was come thither, which is as follows: read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 6:29

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, I am the Lord ,.... See Exodus 6:2 , speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee ; that he let Israel go; and that in case of refusal, that he would punish him and his people with this and the other plague, one after another, and at last slay him and their firstborn. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 6:30

And Moses said before the Lord, behold, I am of uncircumcised lips ,.... As he had done, Exodus 6:13 , and this is only a repetition of what is there said, in order to lead on to what is related in the following chapter: how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me ? so mean a person, and so poor a speaker, and he a mighty king, surrounded with wise counsellors and eloquent orators. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 6:26

According to their armies - צבאתם tsibotham , their battalions - regularly arranged troops. As God had these particularly under his care and direction, he had the name of צבאות יהוה Yehovah tsebaoth , Lord of hosts or armies. "The plain and disinterested manner," says Dr. Dodd, "in which Moses speaks here of his relations, and the impartiality wherewith he inserts in the list of them such as were afterwards severely punished by the Lord, are striking proofs of his modesty and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 6:28

And it came to pass - Here the seventh chapter should commence, as there is a complete ending of the sixth with Exodus 6:27 , and the Exodus 6:30 ; of this chapter is intimately connected with the 1st verse of the succeeding. The principal subjects in this chapter have been so amply considered in the notes, that little of importance remains to be done. On the nature of a covenant (See Clarke's note on Exodus 6:4 ;). ample information may be obtained by referring to Genesis 6:18 ,... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 6:26

Verse 26 26.These are that Aaron and Moses. It is not without a cause that Moses so often reasserts that their office was assigned to himself and his brother by the command of God, both that the Israelites may perceive that they were rescued from their deep abyss by divine grace, and that their minds may be recalled to God’s ancient covenant, and may acknowledge that their Fathers’ hope was not in vain; and, finally, that they may hereafter altogether devote themselves to God. There seems,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 6:9-30

Shaken faith, and an unshaken purpose. In these verses we have— I. A PAINFUL RESULT OF AFFLICTIVE PROVIDENCE . The children of Israel, hard-driven by their taskmasters, and sunk in misery, were so stupefied with sorrow, as to have no longer any heart for their cheering tidings brought to them by Moses. Their despair had its ground in unbelief. They judged Moses a deceiver. They had trusted him before, and they reflected that the only outcome of it had been this... read more
