John Trapp Complete Commentary - Exodus 1:15

Exo 1:15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one [was] Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: Ver. 15. To the Hebrew midwives. ] In Egypt and Greece the midwives of old had their schools; and some of them were great writers. I know not whether the priests were then so officious to them as many are now among the Papists; who say they therefore study Albertus Magnus de secrelis mulierum, that they may advise the midwives: but I doubt it is for a worse... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Exodus 1:16

Exo 1:16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see [them] upon the stools; if it [be] a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it [be] a daughter, then she shall live. Ver. 16. Then ye shall kill him. ] No greater argument of an ill cause than a bloody persecution. George Tankerfield, the martyr, was in King Edward’s days a very Papist, till the time Queen Mary came in; and then, perceiving the great cruelty used on the Pope’s side, was brought into a misdoubt... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Exodus 1:17

Exo 1:17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. Ver. 17. And did not as the king, &c. ] Wherein they did no more, though out of a better principle, than nature itself dictateth. Antigona saith thus in Sophocles, Magis obtemperandum est Diis apud quos diutius manendum erit, quam hominibus quibuscum admodum brevi tempore vivendum est. See Trapp on " Act 4:19 " "We must rather obey God than men." read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Exodus 1:18

Exo 1:18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive? Ver. 18. Why have ye done this thing? ] They might well have answered, as she did in Euripides, Obediemus Atridis honesta mandantibus: Sin vero inhonesta mandabut, non obediemus. If you command things honest we will obey you; not else. Or as that brave woman upon the rack, Non ideo negare vole, ne peream: sed ideo mentiri nolo, ne peccem. a a... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Exodus 1:19

Exo 1:19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women [are] not as the Egyptian women; for they [are] lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them. Ver. 19. For they are lively. ] By that "voice of the Lord which maketh the hinds to calve." Psa 29:9 Lady Faith was their midwife: and she hath delivered the graves of their dead; Heb 11:35 how much more wombs of their quick children! But we need the less wonder at the matter here reported, if that were true which... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Exodus 1:20

Exo 1:20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. Ver. 20. Dealt well with the midwives. ] God is a liberal paymaster: and his retributions are more than bountiful. "Be ye therefore steadfast and unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord." 1Co 15:58 And the people multiplied. ] Sic divinum consilium dum devitatur, impletur: humana sapientia, dum reluctatur,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Exodus 1:21

Exo 1:21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses. Ver. 21. Because the midwives feared God. ] There is no necessity of granting that the midwives told the king a lie. see Exo 1:19 But if they did, St Austin saith well, Non remunerata fuit iis fallacia, sed benevolentia; benignitas mentis, non iniquitas mentientis. Their lie was not rewarded, but their kind heartedness. That he made them houses, ] i.e., He gave them posterity. Thus he built David a... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Exodus 1:22

Exo 1:22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive. Ver. 22. And Pharaoh charged. ] Imperio non tam duro quam diro. This was a most bloody edict: therefore, when God came to make inquisition for blood, he gave them blood again to drink, for they were worthy. The like he did to Nero - qui orientem fidem primus Romae cruentavit - to a Julian, Valens, Valerian, Attilas, Girzerichus, Charles IX of... read more
