The Biblical Illustrator - Exodus 2:13-14

Exodus 2:13-14Two men of the Hebrews strove together.Moses’ championship of the rightIn the first instance we might have thought that in taking part with the Hebrew against the Egyptian, Moses was but yielding to a clannish feeling. It was race against race, not right against wrong. In the second instance, however, that conclusion is shown to be incorrect. We now come to a strife between two Hebrews, both of whom were suffering under the same galling bondage. How did the youthful Moses deport... read more

Exodus 2:23-25Sighed by reason of the bondage.The bondage of the IsraelitesThe Israelites were to be a witnessing nation--a nation in which the worship of the true God was to be maintained, while other nations were sunk in idolatry; and the revelation which God gave of Himself preserved, while all the worm was sunk in grossest darkness; and the humane principles of the Divine law, not only taught, but practised, in a world where injustice and violence and cruelty were rampant. And it requires... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Exodus 2:12

Exo 2:12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that [there was] no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. Ver. 12. He slew the Egyptian. ] This deed of his was heroic and extraordinary, and therefore not to be imitated by every Birchet, who, by this example of Moses and that other of Ehud, persuaded himself it was lawful to kill such as oppose the truth of the gospel: whereupon he wounded Hawkins, slew his keeper, and thought he had a calling to kill a great... read more

Exo 2:13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? Ver. 13. Behold, two men of the Hebrews strove. ] What pity was it that brethren should strive, and one Hebrew smite another, as if blows enough were not dealt them by the Egyptians! Still Satan is thus busy, and Christians are thus malicious. Thus we have seen doves beat, and sheep butt one another. Jonathan and Rab. Solomon... read more

And he said. ] Yea, "he thrust Moses away." Act 7:27 Doing wickedly "with both hands earnestly." Mic 7:3 This act of his is imputed to the whole people, who therefore were deprived of Moses for forty years. So true is that of the wise man, "One sinner destroyeth much good." Ecc 9:18 read more

Exo 2:15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well. Ver. 15. But Moses fled. ] God, by forty years’ exile, fitted Moses for further light and advancement. Much he had learned in Egypt, Act 7:22 but more in Midian.

The old Egyptians chose their kings from among the priests. Samuel was both a priest and a judge in Israel. The Emperor of Rome had for one of his titles Pontifex Maximus, the high priest.
