F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 19:1-15

Moses Receives Jehovah’s Words in the Mount Exodus 19:1-15 The plain beneath Sinai, where Israel encamped, has been identified, and the reader should study the books of travelers which afford a mental conception of the scene. The brilliant colors, in which red sandstone predominates; the shattered, thunder-stricken peaks; the awful silence; the utter absence of vegetation; the level plain giving abundant opportunity for all to hear and see-all these deserve notice. The tenderness of the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 19:1-25

Here we begin the third great movement in the Book of Exodus. We have seen the people in bondage and have observed them being delivered from that bondage and guided by Jehovah. However, they were still a confused multitude rather than an organized nation. From this point to the end of the Book we have the account of the giving of the constitution and the great work of organization. The first event was the calling of Moses and the announcement to him of the divine purpose. Jehovah first stated... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Exodus 19:1-25

Visions of God Exodus 19:1-25 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Going forth out of Egypt. Our study for today opens with the words: "In the third month, when the Children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai." It is very plain to us that the wrath of Pharaoh and his armies could not keep the Children of Israel in Egypt, neither could they hinder them from going forth on their way to Canaan. Satan is powerful, but he is not all-powerful. ... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 19:10-13

The People Are To Prepare For What Yahweh Is Going To Do (Exodus 19:10-25 ) . This passage is also based on a chiastic construction as follows: a Moses is told to prepare the people so that they will be ready (Exodus 19:10-11). b Bounds are to be set, they must not touch the mount lest they die (Exodus 19:12-13). c Moses sanctifies the people in readiness (Exodus 19:14-15). d The awesome scene is described. Thunders and lightning and a thick cloud on the mount, and the sound of a... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 19:13

There shall not an hand touch it, i.e. the mountain. But, 1. This seems to be a gross tautology, for it was twice forbidden in the words next foregoing. 2. So the word hand would seem to be ascribed both to man and beast. Others therefore render it touch him, i.e. they shall look upon such an impudent transgressor of my express command as an abominable person, whom they cannot touch without defilement, and therefore he shall be put to death in such a manner as may be performed without touching... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 19:7-25

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Exodus 19:7-24The subject of this paragraph is God’s revelation of Himself,—the call to receive it, the manner in which it was made.I. When God reveals Himself man is summoned to attend. This is uniformly God’s method. First the call, then the revelation. “Hear, O Israel,” then, “the Lord thy God is one Lord.” “This is My beloved Son, hear ye Him,” then the New Testament dispensation. This was “one of the sundry times and divers manners” in which “God spake to... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 19:1-25

Now in the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, in the same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai. For they were departed from Rephidim, and they were come to the desert of Sinai and they had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mount. And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; You have see what I did... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 19:1-25

Exodus 19:1. The third month. On the fourteenth day at night the paschal lamb was slain. The two months contain sixty days, and on the fourth day of the third month the law was given, or the sixty fourth day of the Hebrew ecclesiastical year. From these we deduct the fourteen days before the passover, which leave exactly fifty days, the last of which was the day of Pentecost, a festival when the first fruits were offered, which lasted but one day. Thus a perfect type was given of the Lord’s... read more
