Exodus 6:28

14-30 Moses and Aaron were Israelites; 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. Moses returns to his narrative, and repeats the charge God had given him to deliver his message to Pharaoh, and his objection against it. Those who have spoken unadvisedly with their lips ought to reflect upon it with regret, as Moses seems to do here."Uncircumcised," is used in Scripture to note the unsuitableness there may be in any thing to answer its proper purpose; as the carnal heart and depraved nature of fallen man are wholly unsuited to the services of God, and to the purposes of his glory. It is profitable to place no confidence in ourselves, all our sufficiency must be in the Lord. We never can trust ourselves too little, or our God too much. I can do nothing by myself, said the apostle,...

Verse 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 (Exodus 6:4.) ample information may be obtained by referring to Genesis 6:18, and...

This and the following verses belong to the next chapter. They mark distinctly the beginning of a subdivision of the narrative....

EXPOSITION EXODUS 6:28-2 The remainder of this chapter is scarcely more than a recapitulation. The author, or compiler, having interposed his genealogical section, has to take up the narrative from Exodus 6:12, where he broke off, and does so by almost repeating the words of Exodus 6:10-2. The only important addition is the insertion of the words—"I am the Lord" (Exodus 6:29), and the only important variation, the substitution of "Speak thou unto Pharaoh _all that _I_ say unto thee_'_ _(ibid.), for "Speak unto Pharaoh … that he let the c

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:...

CHAPTER S 6:28-7:13 THE RENEWED COMMISSION AND BEFORE PHARAOH AGAIN _ 1. Renewed commission and renewed hesitation (Exodus 6:28)_ 2. Jehovah's instructions (Exodus 7:1) 3. Before Pharaoh and the sign of the rod (Exodus 7:10) Once more Moses received his commission, and again he hesitated on account of his poor speech. After all the gracious words Jehovah had spoken he pleads again his weakness. It shows what the unbelieving heart is. Twice Jehovah said that Moses should be a god. A god to Aaron (4:16) and a god to Pharaoh (7:1). He received divine authority and power over Pharaoh, while he was to his spokesman Aaron a god, because the word he uttered to him to communicate to Pharaoh was the word of

An insertion by the editor, who in Exodus 6:13 anticipates the mention of Aaron (Exodus 7:1 f.), and in Exodus 6:14 compresses a wider genealogy to give the pedigree of Moses and Aaron, and in Exodus 6:28 recapitulates Exodus 6:1. From Genesis 5 onwards genealogies, original and inserted, abound in P, reflecting the post-exilic interest in pedigrees (Ch., Ezr., Neh.). A Canaanite strain is indicated for Simeon (Exodus 6:15), as well as for Judah (Genesis 38), by the mention of Shaul's Canaanite mo

AND IT CAME TO PASS, &C.— This is a repetition to connect the history. God will have his work done, and he has ways of constraining the most unwilling heart....

THE TEXT OF EXODUS TRANSLATION 6 AND JE-HO-VAH SAID UNTO MO-SES, NOW SHALT THOU SEE WHAT I WILL DO TO PHA-RAOH: FOR BY A STRONG HAND SHALL HE LET THEM GO, AND BY A STRONG HAND SHALL HE DRIVE THEM OUT OF HIS LAND. (2) And God spake unto Mo-ses, and said unto him, I am Je-ho-vah: (3) and I appeared unto Abraham, unto I-saac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name Je-ho-vah I was not known to them. (4) And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Ca-naan, the land of their sojournings, wherein they sojourned. (5) And moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Is-ra-el, whom the E-gyp-tians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant. (6) Wherefore say unto the children of Is-ra-el, I am Je-ho-vah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the E-gyp-tians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a...
