Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
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."
for all: Exodus 2:15, Exodus 2:23, Matthew 2:20
Reciprocal: 1 Kings 11:21 - Hadad Acts 7:29 - General Hebrews 11:27 - not fearing
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.
