John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 6:25

And Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife ,.... This was Aaron's eldest son. The person, whose daughter he married, Dr. Lightfoot F13 Works, vol. 1. p. 704, 705. conjectures was an Egyptian convert, perhaps of the posterity of Potipherah, among whom Joseph had sowed the seeds of true religion, and supposes that the Egyptians used the name of Puti or Poti, either in memorial of their uncle Put, Genesis 10:6 or in reverence of some deity of that name; but... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 6:16

The years of the life of Levi - "Bishop Patrick observes that Levi is thought to have lived the longest of all Jacob's sons, none of whose ages are recorded in Scripture but his and Joseph's, whom Levi survived twenty-seven years, though he was much the elder brother. By the common computation this would be twenty-three years: by Kennicott's computation at the end of Genesis 31. (See Clarke's note at Genesis 31:55 ;) Levi's birth is placed twenty-four years before that of Joseph; his... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 6:20

His father's sister - דדתו dodatho . The true meaning of this word is uncertain. Parkhurst observes that דוד dod signifies an uncle in 1 Samuel 10:14 ; Leviticus 10:4 , and frequently elsewhere. It signifies also an uncle's son, a cousin-german: compare Jeremiah 32:8 ; with Exodus 6:12 , where the Vulgate renders דדי dodi by patruelis mei , my paternal cousin; and in Amos 6:10 , for דודו dodo , the Targum has קריביה karibiah , his near relation. So the... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 6:16

Verse 16 16.And these are the names of the sons of Levi. Because it was especially desirable to know the origin of Moses and Aaron, he refers to it at greater length, and more distinctly enmnerates the families which descended from the patriarch Levi; not to attribute any peculiar dignity to his own race, but to make it appear more dearly that the people was not brought out by any stranger, but that he, who was to be the witness among his brethren of the power, and grace, and truth of God, was... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 6:13-27

At this point the narrative is interrupted The author, or the final compiler—perhaps Joshua—thought it desirable to insert here a genealogical section, taking up the fatuity history of Israel from the point at which it was left in Exodus 1:5 , where the sons of Jacob were enumerated. The whole political system of Israel was based upon the tribal relation; and it was of the last importance, politically, to hand down the divisions and subdivisions of families. The lists here given,... read more
