Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 6:10-30

Yahweh’s Charge to Moses and Aaron and Details of Aaron’s Background (Exodus 6:10-30 ). Here we have a further chiasmus based around genealogical information to do with Aaron as the head of Moses’ family demonstrating their credentials. Yahweh has just previously made known His own credentials, now Aaron’s credentials are to be laid out. Such a background confirms his worthiness for the task that lies ahead. a Yahweh commands Moses to speak to Pharaoh to let the children of Israel leave and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 6:13-30

Exodus 6:13-Amos : . An insertion by the editor, who in Exodus 6:13 anticipates the mention of Aaron ( Exodus 7:1 f.), and in Exodus 6:14-Daniel : compresses a wider genealogy to give the pedigree of Moses and Aaron, and in Exodus 6:28-Amos : recapitulates Exodus 6:1-2 Kings :. From Genesis 5 onwards genealogies, original and inserted, abound in P, reflecting the post-exilic interest in pedigrees (Ch., Ezr., Neh.). A Canaanite strain is indicated for Simeon ( Exodus 6:15), as well as for... read more

His father’s sister or rather, kinswoman, or cousin, or niece; for so this Hebrew word is sometimes used, as appears from Jeremiah 32:8,Jeremiah 32:9,Jeremiah 32:12. Object.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 6:23

Amminadab a prince of the tribe of Judah, Numbers 1:7; Numbers 2:3. Marriages were not yet confined to their own tribes; and when they were, the Levites seem to have had this privilege, that they might marry a daughter of any other tribe, because indeed the reason of that law did not concern them, there being no danger of confusion or loss of inheritance on their part. And especially there were many marriages made between the tribes of Judah and Levi, to signify that both were united in Christ,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 6:14-30

CRITICAL NOTES.—Exodus 6:14. The heads of their fathers’ houses] It is obvious that Exodus 6:13-30 form a distinct section: indeed Exodus 6:30 resumes the very words of Exodus 6:13. The interjected portion might seem to interrupt the flow of the narrative; but on closer examination the conclusion that it could ill be spared is easily arrived at, since the genealogy given relates directly to the leading actors who are coming on the scene. The houses of Reuben and Simeon are given for the sake of... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 6:1-30

Chapter five of the book of Exodus, we left Moses in great despair. He did what he thought God was calling him to do. He went to the Pharaoh and demanded the release of the children of Israel. But the Pharaoh, rather than releasing them, only increased the burdens and the severity of their slavery.Until the children of Israel started really getting on Moses' case saying, "Why didn't you leave us alone? We were much better off before you ever came. Now since you've come, things are really hard... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 6:1-30

Exodus 6:1. With a strong hand. In a general view we do not find that heaven has recourse to miracles, except when religion is low and greatly depressed, somewhat as a fire which is burnt down has need of the blast to raise the heat. In this view, God graciously favoured the holy prophets, before Jerusalem was destroyed, and when idolatry raised her daring front to heaven. So also when the new covenant superseded the shadows of the old, our Saviour commanded divine obedience by the divinity... read more

Exodus 6:14-27These be the heads of their fathers’ houses.The genealogy of the ChurchI. That it was, humanly speaking, of very unpretentious origin.II. That it was, morally speaking, of a very miscellaneous character. We have names in this list of very varied moral worth. Some noted for their piety, others remark, able for their profanity. The Church has now a mixed genealogy. All down through the ages the tares and wheat have been growing together, and they will do so until the harvest, which... read more
