Exodus 2:25

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 covenant, of which he is ever mindful. He considered this, and not any merit of theirs. He looked upon the children of Israel. Moses looked upon them, and pitied them; but now God looked upon them, and helped them. He had respect unto them. His eyes are now fixed upon Israel, to show himself in their behalf. God is ever thus, a very present help in trouble. Take courage then, ye who, conscious of...

Verse Exodus 2:25. _AND GOD HAD RESPECT UNTO_ THEM.] וידע אלהים _vaiyeda_ _Elohim_, God _knew_ them, i.e., he _approved_ of them, and therefore it is said that _their cry came up before God, and he heard their_ _groaning_. The word ידע _yada, to know_, in the Hebrew Bible, as well as γινωσκω in the Greek Testament, is frequently used in the sense of _approving_; and because God _knew _- had _respect_ for and _approved_ of, them, therefore he was determined to deliver them. For אלהים _Elohim_, GOD, in the last clause of this verse, Houbigant reads אליהם _aleyhem_, UPON THEM, which is countenanced by the _Vulgate, Septuagint, Chaldee, Coptic_, and _Arabic_, and appears to have been the original reading. The difference in the original consists in the interchange of two letters, the י _yod_ and ה _he._...

EXPOSITION. Exodus 2:23-2 DEATH OF THE PHARAOH FROM WHOM MOSES FLED — CONTINUANCE OF THE OPPRESSION OF ISRAEL-ISRAEL'S PRAYERS — GOD'S ACCEPTANCE OF THEM. — After a space of forty years from the time of Moses' flight from Egypt, according to the estimate of St. Stephen (Acts 7:30), which is not, however, to be strictly pressed, the king whose anger he had provoked — Rameses II., as we believe — died. He had reigned sixty-seven years —

AND GOD LOOKED UPON THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL,.... With an eye of pity and compassion, and saw all the hardships they laboured under, and all the injuries that were done unto them: AND GOD HAD RESPECT UNTO [THEM]; had a favourable regard to them; or "knew" b not only them, the Israelites, and loved them, and approved of them, and owned them as his own, all which words of knowledge sometimes signify; but he knew their sorrows and sufferings, and took notice of what was done to them secretly; see Exodus 3:7. b וידע "et eognovit", Pagninus, Montanus, Junius Tremellius, Piscator....

THE TEXT OF EXODUS TRANSLATION 2 And there went a man of the house of Le-vi, and took to wife a daughter of Le-vi. (2) And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. (3) And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and laid it in the flags by the river's brink. (4) And his sister stood afar off, _to_ know what would be done to him. (5) And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river-side; and she saw the ark among the flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch it. (6) And she opened it, and saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews-' children. (7) Then said his sister to Pha-raoh's daughter, Shall I...

BIRTH AND EARLY LIFE OF MOSES 1. 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....

EXODUS: ISRAEL BECOMES A NATION THE *ISRAELITES LEAVE EGYPT EXODUS CHAPTER S 1 TO 18 _HILDA BRIGHT AND KITTY PRIDE_ CHAPTER 2 Chapter 2 shows how God used women again. They became part of God’s plan to rescue his people. HOW GOD RESCUED MOSES – VERSES 1-10 V1 During this time a man, from the family called Levi, married a woman. She was from the same family. V2 Later, she was expecting a child. And she gave birth to a son. She saw that her baby was a beautiful child. So she hid him for three months. V3 After that, she could not continue to hide him. So she obtained some plants that grow in water. And she used them to make a basket for her son. She covered the basket with a thick black substance so that water did not get into the basket. Then she p
