Exodus THE ARK AMONG THE FLAGS Exo_2:1 - - Exo_2:10 . I. It is remarkable that all the persons in this narrative are anonymous. We know that the names of ‘the man of the house of Levi’ and his wife were Amram and Jochebed. Miriam was probably the anxious sister who watched what became of the little coffer. The daughter of Pharaoh has two names in Jewish tradition, one of which corresponds to that which Brugsch has found to have been borne by one of Rameses’ very numerous daughters. One... read more

Moses Preserved by Pharaoh’s Daughter Exodus 2:1-10 When matters had reached their worst in respect to Israel’s condition, God was preparing a deliverer. The child was more than ordinarily beautiful, Acts 7:20 . His parents hid him by faith, Hebrews 11:23 . Perhaps they had received a special revelation of his great future, on the strength of which they became strong to resist the royal command. They launched the ark, not on the Nile only, but on God’s Providence. He would be captain,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 2:1-25

Here begins the story of Moses. When Pharaoh was beginning to take active steps to oppress the people, God brought to birth the man who was to break Egypt's power. A mother's love is seen scheming for the life of her child. The New Testament tells us that what she did, she did by faith. Was anything more unimportant, judged by all human standards, than the startled cry of a baby? Yet that cry opened the gate of a woman's heart and admitted to the center of Egyptian life the coming deliverer. ... read more

The Daughters of the Old Testament Exodus 2:1-10 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Among the daughters of the Old Testament we have chosen to present to you Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, and the sister of Ahaziah. 1. The wrath of Athaliah. When Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, discovered that her son was slain, she arose and slew all the seed royal. At least, she thought she had so done. However, in 2 Kings 11:2 , we read: "But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 2:9

HOME TRAINING‘Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages.’ Exodus 2:9 I. To none is God’s commendation vouchsafed more fully than to those who love children for Christ’s sake. The presence of childhood represents and brings back our own. It is then that our Divine Master seems to repeat His words in our ears, ‘Except ye be converted and become as little children, ye cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.’ Children confide in those around them with a sweet and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 2:1-10

The Birth of Moses (Exodus 2:1-10 ). It is noteworthy that out of this dreadful period God produced his man for that hour. For in the midst of the bloodbath and the despair a child was born, who would be the deliverer of his people. a A man of Levi marries a daughter of Levi (Exodus 2:1). b The woman bares a son and hides him for three months (Exodus 2:2). c She puts him in a waterproofed basket of bulrushes and puts it in the reeds at the Nile’s edge (Exodus 2:3). d The baby’s sister... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 2:2-12

The First Five Words - Attitude Towards God (Exodus 20:2-12 ). The basic principle behind these first commandments is a simple one. It is that Yahweh is supreme, and that to try to depict Him in any heavenly or earthly form would be to debase Him and misrepresent Him, because He is over, above and beyond all such representation, indeed such misrepresentation could only be seen as blasphemy. These requirements reveal Him as the active and powerful living God Who is over all, invisible and... read more

Exodus 2:1 to Exodus 4:31 . Preparation and Call of Moses. Exodus 2:1-2 Samuel : E. His Birth and Upbringing.— If the text can be trusted, we are informed that “ a man of the house of Levi took (to wife) the (only) daughter of Levi” ( cf. Exodus 6:20, Numbers 26:59 P), who would thus be, according to the genealogy of P, his aunt, or the sister of his father Kohath. Possibly, however, the text has been abridged, and ran, as LXX with some variations suggests, “ took one of the daughters of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 2:1

There went a man, viz. Amram, Exodus 6:20; Numbers 26:58,Numbers 26:59 from the place of his abode to another place for the following purpose. A daughter of Levi, namely Jochebed, Numbers 26:59, called a daughter, not strictly, but more largely, to wit, a grandchild, as the words father and son are oft used for a grandfather and a grandson, as hath been showed before: And so the word sister, Exodus 6:20, is to be taken largely, as brother is oft used for a cousin. This seems more probable than... read more

She could not longer hide him, with safety to herself, because they now grew more violent in executing that bloody decree, and the child growing up was more likely to be discovered, especially seeing the Egyptians dwelt among them, Exodus 3:22. That boats were made of such materials as bulrushes in those parts, is evident from Isaiah 18:2, and from the testimonies of Herod, Pliny, and others. Slime and pitch; slime within, and pitch without. She hid it in the flags, which grew near the river’s... read more
