Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Exodus 2:1-25

Exodus 2:4 Moses never had a stronger prediction about him, no not when all his Israelites were pitched about his tent in the wilderness, than now when he lay sprawling alone upon the waves; no water, no Egyptian can hurt him. Neither friend nor brother dare own him, and now God challenges his custody. When we seem most neglected and forlorn in ourselves, then is God most present, most vigilant. Bishop Hall. Exodus 2:6 See here the merciful daughter of a cruel father. It is an uncharitable and... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Exodus 2:1-10

CHAPTER II.THE RESCUE OF MOSES.Exodus 2:1-10.We have said that the Old Testament history teems with political wisdom, lessons of permanent instruction for mankind, on the level of this life, yet godly, as all true lessons must be, in a world of which Christ is King. These our religion must learn to recognise and proclaim, if it is ever to win the respect of men of affairs, and "leaven the whole lump" of human life with sacred influence.Such a lesson is the importance of the individual in the... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 2:1-25

THE BIRTH AND PROTECTION OF MOSES (vs.1-10) God's hand of overruling power and grace is seen beautifully in this chapter. There is nothing spectacular, but an incident takes place that would be normally unnoticed. A man of the tribe of Levi, Amram by name, married a woman (Jochebed) of the same tribe, who gave birth to a son. However, not being afraid of the king's commandment, and being specially encouraged by the beauty of the child, she hid him for three months. Hebrews 11:23 tells us... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Exodus 2:1-22

JOSEPH ’S DEATH , MOSES ’ CALL In Exodus we have the deliverance of Israel out of Egypt and the establishment of their relationship with Jehovah their Deliverer. It opens by rehearsing the names of Jacob’s sons and the passing away of Joseph and his generation (Exodus 1:1-6 ) matters considered in Genesis. Then follows a statement of the numerical development of Israel. Count the adverbs, adjectives and nouns describing it, and see how God has fulfilled already one part of His prediction to... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 2:1-9

Moses on the Nile Exo 1:22 A very easy plan, was it not? Whom you fear, destroy; that is a brief and easy creed, surely? This was turning the river to good account. It was a ready-made grave. Pharaoh did not charge the people to cut the sod, and lay the murdered children in the ground; the sight would have been unpleasant, the reminders would have been too numerous; he said, Throw the intruders into the river: there will be but a splash, a few bubbles on the surface, and the whole thing will... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 2:10-25

Moses In Midian Exo 2:10 There seems to be a considerable gap between the ninth verse and the tenth. We parted with Moses when he was three months old, and we know nothing more of him until he became the son of Pharaoh's daughter. We wish to know something of his home training. We would fain pry into the mother's methods of dealing with such a child. What truths did she inculcate upon him? How did she explain the condition of the children of Israel to her son? Did she seek to prejudice his... read more
