Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 1:22

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Exodus 1:22THE LAST EDICT OF A TYRANT KINGI. It was public in its proclamation. 1. How men advance from one degree of sin to another. The last murderous intention was only made known to two midwives; it was private—it was subtle. This is public; this is unconcealed; he fearlessly and untremblingly announces himself as the murderer of all the males of Israel.II. It was cruel in its requirements. 1.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Exodus 1:6

Exodus 1:6 I. Joseph was still a son, though lord over Egypt (Genesis 45:9-11 ). His heart yearned over his father with all a child's clinging trustfulness. II. Jacob's heart fainted, for the news was to him too good to be true. There is in life an element which is constantly upsetting probabilities; thus calling men up from lethargy. The news was too romantic at first for Jacob; but he always had an eye for the practical, and when he saw the wagons, his heart revived (vers. 25-28). III. In the... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Exodus 1:10-17

Prosperity Under Persecution by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Come on let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land. Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses. But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew." Exodus 1:10-12... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 1:22

Let's turn now to Exodus, chapter one, as we begin the book of Exodus.The word "Now" could very well read, "And", as far as the Hebrew is concerned, for the book of Exodus is just a continuation of Genesis. The last verse of Genesis, "So Joseph died being a hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and put him in a coffin in Egypt."Now these are names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household that came with Jacob. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 1:1-22

Exodus 1:1. The children of Israel. Some think we should read here, the sons of Israel. Paul, Galatians 4:3; Galatians 4:5, makes a distinction between children and sons, in the words νηπιοι and υιοθεσιαν . Exodus 1:7. The land was filled with them. The prodigious increase of the Israelites while in Goshen is accounted for, from the peculiar fruitfulness of their females, who often had, as the Jews allow, two, three, and four children at a birth; from their indulgence in a plurality of... read more
