Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 19:22

For though the Aaronical priesthood was not yet appointed, it is certain, that as there were sacrifices before, so there were priests to offer them, which were either the first-born, who were consecrated to God, and did execute the office of priests, as may be gathered from Exodus 13:2; Exodus 24:5; Numbers 3:12; Numbers 8:26, or some other persons appointed by God for doing that work till the office was settled in Aaron’s family. Which come near to the Lord; not at this time, for both priests... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 19:23

The people are sufficiently admonished in that particular, because as thou didst command this same thing before, Exodus 19:12, so I have informed and warned them of it; so that it may seem superfluous for me to go down again to acquaint them herewith. But God, who better knew the dulness and the hardness of their hearts than Moses did, saw it necessary to repeat the same command again and again. Some read the words interrogatively, lo for halo, as it is 2 Samuel 13:26; 2 Kings 5:26; Job 2:10;... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 19:1-6

CRITICAL NOTES.—Exodus 19:1. The Wilderness of Sinai.]—Sinai is the “proper name of the granite mountain in the Arabian Veninsula, rendered famous by the Mosaic legislation. It consists of three large summits, of which the north-eastern is called Horeb, the south-western that of St. Catherine. ‘The Wilderness of Sinai’ is the wilderness about Sinai, and particularly the plain of Sebayeh, south of Gibel Mûsa.” (Fürst.)—Exodus 19:3. Thus shalt thou say.]—There is something peculiarly beautiful in... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 19:7-25

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Exodus 19:7-24The subject of this paragraph is God’s revelation of Himself,—the call to receive it, the manner in which it was made.I. When God reveals Himself man is summoned to attend. This is uniformly God’s method. First the call, then the revelation. “Hear, O Israel,” then, “the Lord thy God is one Lord.” “This is My beloved Son, hear ye Him,” then the New Testament dispensation. This was “one of the sundry times and divers manners” in which “God spake to... read more

DISCOURSE: 91MOSES’ MESSAGE TO THE ISRAELITESExodus 19:3-6. And Moses went up unto God: and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shall thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye mitt obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine. And ye... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Exodus 19:3

Thus shalt thou say It is exceedingly important to observe: (1) that Jehovah reminded the people that hitherto they had been the objects of His free grace; (2) that the law is not proposed as a means of life, but as a means by which Israel might become "a peculiar treasure" and a "kingdom of priests"; (3) that the law was not imposed until it had been proposed and voluntarily accepted. The principle is stated in Galatians 5:1-4. For Another Point of View: See Topic 301181 Additional Factors to... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Exodus 19:5

if ye will obey (Cf) 1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 1:6; Revelation 5:10. What, under law, was condition, is under grace, freely given to every believer. The "if" of Exodus 19:5 is the essence of law as a method of divine dealing, and the fundamental reason why "the law made nothing perfect" ; Romans 8:3; Hebrews 7:18; Hebrews 7:19. The Abrahamic: (See Scofield "Hebrews 7:19- :") and New (See Scofield "Hebrews 7:19- :") covenants minister salvation and assurance because they impose but one condition,... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Exodus 19:8

we will do The Fifth Dispensation: Law. This dispensation extends from Sinai to Calvary--from Exodus to the Cross. The history of Israel in the wilderness and in the land is one long record of the violation of the law. The testing of the nation by law ended in the judgment of the Captivities, but the dispensation itself ended at the Cross. (1) Man's state at the beginning Exodus 19:1-4. (2) His responsibility Exodus 19:5; Exodus 19:6; Romans 10:5. (3) His failure 2 Kings 17:7-17; 2 Kings 17:19;... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 19:1-25

Now in the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, in the same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai. For they were departed from Rephidim, and they were come to the desert of Sinai and they had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mount. And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; You have see what I did... read more
