Contextual Overview

1 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Now you will see what I will do to the king of Egypt. I will use my great power against him, and he will let my people go. Because of my power, he will force them out of his country." 2 Then God said to Moses, "I am the Lord . 3 I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by the name God Almighty, but they did not know me by my name, the Lord . 4 I also made my agreement with them to give them the land of Canaan. They lived in that land, but it was not their own. 5 Now I have heard the cries of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are treating as slaves, and I remember my agreement. 6 So tell the people of Israel that I say to them, ‘I am the Lord . I will save you from the hard work the Egyptians force you to do. I will make you free, so you will not be slaves to the Egyptians. I will free you by my great power, and I will punish the Egyptians terribly. 7 I will make you my own people, and I will be your God. You will know that I am the Lord your God, the One who saves you from the hard work the Egyptians force you to do. 8 I will lead you to the land that I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I will give you that land to own. I am the Lord .'" 9 So Moses told this to the Israelites, but they would not listen to him. They were discouraged, and their slavery was hard.

Cross-References

Genesis 1:28
God blessed them and said, "Have many children and grow in number. Fill the earth and be its master. Rule over the fish in the sea and over the birds in the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then the Lord said unto Moses,.... In answer to the questions put to him, and the expostulations made with him:

now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: in inflicting punishments on him: for with a strong hand shall he let them go; being forced to it by the mighty hand of God upon him; and it is by some rendered, "because of a strong hand" s; so Jarchi; for this is not to be understood of the hand of Pharaoh, but of the hand of God:

and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land: not only be willing that they should go, but be urgent upon them to be gone,

Exodus 12:33.

s ביד חזקה "propter manum validam"; so some in Drusius.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER VI

God encourages Moses, and promises to show wonders upon Pharaoh,

and to bring out his people with a strong hand, 1.

He confirms this promise by his essential name JEHOVAH, 2, 3;

by the covenant he had made with their fathers, 4, 5.

Sends Moses with a fresh message to the Hebrews, full of the most

gracious promises, and confirms the whole by appealing to the name

in which his unchangeable existence is implied, 6-8.

Moses delivers the message to the Israelites, but through anguish

of spirit they do not believe, 9.

He receives a new commission to go to Pharaoh, 10, 11.

He excuses himself on account of his unreadiness of speech, 12.

The Lord gives him and Aaron a charge both to Pharaoh and to the

children of Israel, 13.

The genealogy of Reuben, 14;

of Simeon, 15;

of Levi, from whom descended Gershon, Kohath, and Merari, 16.

The sons of Gershon, 17;

of Kohath, 15;

of Merari, 19.

The marriage of Amram and Jochebed, 20.

The sons of Izhar and Uzziel, the brothers of Amram, 21, 22.

Marriage of Aaron and Elisheba, and the birth of their sons,

Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, 23.

The sons of Korah, the nephew of Aaron, 24.

The marriage of Eleazar to one of the daughters of Putiel, and

the birth of Phinehas, 25.

These genealogical accounts introduced for the sake of showing the

line of descent of Moses and Aaron, 26, 27.

A recapitulation of the commission delivered to Moses and Aaron, 29,

and a repetition of the excuse formerly made by Moses, 30.

NOTES ON CHAP. VI

Verse Exodus 6:1. With a strong hand — יד חזקה yad chazakah, the same verb which we translate to harden; Exodus 4:21. The strong hand here means sovereign power, suddenly and forcibly applied. God purposed to manifest his sovereign power in the sight of Pharaoh and the Egyptians; in consequence of which Pharaoh would manifest his power and authority as sovereign of Egypt, in dismissing and thrusting out the people. See Exodus 12:31-33.
