Contextual Overview

¹⁸ Moses went back to Jethro, his father-in-law, and said to him, "Let me go back to my people in Egypt. I want to see if they are still alive." Jethro said to Moses, "Go! I wish you well." ¹⁹ While Moses was still in Midian, the Lord said to him, "Go back to Egypt, because the men who wanted to kill you are dead now." ²⁰ So Moses took his wife and his sons, put them on a donkey, and started back to Egypt. He took with him the walking stick of God. ²¹ The Lord said to Moses, "When you get back to Egypt, do all the miracles I have given you the power to do. Show them to the king of Egypt. But I will make the king very stubborn, and he will not let the people go. ²² Then say to the king, ‘This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son. ²³ I told you to let my son go so he may worship me. But you refused to let Israel go, so I will kill your firstborn son.'"

Midian: A country in Arabia Petrea, on the eastern coast of the Red Sea, near Mount Sinai. This place is still called by the Arabs the Land of Midian, or of Jethro. Abulfeda, speaking of Midian, says, "Madyan is a city, in ruins, on the shore of the Red Sea, on the opposite side to Tabuc, from which it is distant about six days' journey. At Midian may be seen the famous well at which Moses watered the flocks of Shoaib - Jethro. This city was the capital of the tribe of Midian in the days of the Israelites."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord said unto Moses in Midian,.... After he had obtained leave of his father-in-law to quit Midian, but before he left it;

go, return into Egypt: that is, directly, immediately; before he had only given him a commission at large to go thither, but had not fixed the time when he should go; but now he orders him to set forward at once:

for all the men are dead which sought thy life; to take it away, the king of Egypt, and his ministers, and the friends of the Egyptian Moses had slain; and this is said to encourage him to go; and though Moses had never expressed his fear on this account, or made it an objection, yet it might lie secretly in his heart, and be one reason of his backwardness to go into Egypt, and which was now removed.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 4:19. In Midian — This was a new revelation, and appears to have taken place after Moses returned to his father-in-law previous to his departure for Egypt.
