Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 3:7-10

Justinian built a monastery here, and made it the seat of a bishop. They show strangers the identical spot where Moses, by the Lord’s command, caused the waters to flow. The Mussulmans have this place in very great veneration. Exodus 3:2. Angel of the Lord. Malack, the messenger, the angel of the covenant. Malachi 3:1.... read more
