Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 2:15

He sought to slay Moses; not out of zeal to punish a murderer, but to secure himself from so dangerous a person, probably supposing that this was the man foretold to be the scourge of Egypt, and the deliverer of Israel. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 2:16

The Priest of Midian; not of idols, for then Moses would not have married into his family; but of the true God; for some such were in those ancient times here and there, as appears by Melchisedek, though his manner of worshipping God might be superstitious and corrupt: or the Hebrew cohen may here signify a prince, or a potentate, as Genesis 41:45. Nor doth the employment of his daughters contradict that translation, both because principalities were then many of them very small and mean, and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 2:17

The shepherds drove them away, that they might enjoy the fruit of their labours, and make use of the water which they had drawn for their own cattle. Moses helped them; either by persuading them with fair words, or by force; for Moses was strong, and full of courage and resolution, wherewith the shepherds were easily daunted. read more

Their father; either, 1. Strictly, and then he is the same who elsewhere is called Jethro, Exodus 3:1; Exodus 18:0 oft times; and, as some think, Hobab, Judges 4:11. Or, 2. Largely, i.e. their grandfather, for such are oft called fathers, as Genesis 31:43; 2 Kings 14:3; 2 Kings 16:2; 2 Kings 18:3; so he was the father of Jethro, or Hobab, Numbers 10:29. read more

They guessed him to be an Egyptian by his habit and speech, or he told them that he came from thence. Drew water; Heb. in drawing drew, which notes that he drew it very diligently and readily, which caused their quick return. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 2:21

Moses was content; or, consented to this desire or offer. And so his present and temporary repose there is turned into a settled habitation. Moses married Zipporah not instantly, but after some years of acquaintance with the family, as may probably be gathered from the youngness and uncircumcisedness of one of his sons forty years after this, Exodus 4:25. In which time, as Moses would not fail to instruct them in the knowledge of the true God, which he was able excellently to do, so it is... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 2:23

In process of time; Heb. in those many days, viz. in which he lived or abode there, i.e. after them. In is put for after here, as it is Numbers 28:26; Isaiah 20:1; Mark 13:24, compared with Matthew 24:29; Luke 9:36. After forty years, as appears by comparing Exodus 7:7, with Acts 7:30. The king of Egypt died; and after him one or two more of his sons or successors, and the rest who sought for Moses’s life, Exodus 4:19. The children of Israel sighed, because though their great oppressor was... read more

Heb. Knew them, so as to pity and help them; as words of knowledge are oft used, as Psalms 1:6; Psalms 31:7. He who seemed to have rejected them, now owned them for his people, and came for their rescue. read more

CRITICAL NOTES.—Exodus 2:6. She saw the child] This verse is surpassingly delightful for simple vividness, when rendered in oriental fashion: “And she opens, and beholds him—even the child, and lo! a BOY, wesping!” Exodus 2:9. Take] More exactly: “Take away.” Prob. not said with aversion, but prompted by the child’s danger and her own prudence. The time was not yet come for M. to be called “the son of P.’s daughter.” MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Exodus 2:5-9THE PROVIDENCE OF GOD IN... read more
