5:1-15:21 DELIVERANCE FROM EGYPTMoses’ first meeting with Pharaoh (5:1-6:27)In the eyes of the Israelites, Moses’ first meeting with Pharaoh was a disaster.

In fact, when Moses asked to take his people into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, Pharaoh responded by accusing the Israelites of laziness and making their work harder (5:1-14). This not only increased the suffering of the Israelites but also caused them to turn... read more

Exodus 6:16. The years of the life of Levi, &c.— 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. Kohath, the second sort of Levi, according to Archbishop Usher, was thirty years old when Jacob came into Egypt; and lived there a hundred and thirty-three years: and his son Amram, Moses's father, lived to... read more
