英文原文
Ex 6:1-13.
RENEWAL OF THE PROMISE.
1. the Lord said unto Moses--The Lord, who is long-suffering and indulgent to the errors and infirmities of His people, made allowance for the mortification of Moses as the result of this first interview and cheered him with the assurance of a speedy and successful termination to his embassy.

(出 3:20),
语气坚定有力。
英文原文

(Ex 3:20).

3. 我……全能的神——一切仇敌必倾覆,一切艰难必在全能的大能前消散,列祖已有充分的证据。
至于我名,等等——更准确地说,以疑问句读:至于我的名雅巍,我岂未向他们显现吗?我岂不就是那以自己的尊荣为保证、要成就这约的全能神,也是那存活为要成就此事的自有永有者吗?因此可以确信,我必将这事成就。这段经文引起了许多讨论;许多人认为它的意思是:雅巍这名为列祖所不知,至少在其完全的含义或实际的经历上不知,因此这启示的尊荣便保留给摩西,他是第一个奉雅巍的名奉差遣的人,并得着一连串公开的神迹来加以证实。
英文原文
3. I . . . God Almighty--All enemies must fall, all difficulties must vanish before My omnipotent power, and the patriarchs had abundant proofs of this.
but by my name, &c.--rather, interrogatively, by My name Jehovah was I not known to them? Am not I, the Almighty God, who pledged My honor for the fulfilment of the covenant, also the self-existent God who lives to accomplish it? Rest assured, therefore, that I shall bring it to pass. This passage has occasioned much discussion; and it has been thought by many to intimate that as the name Jehovah was not known to the patriarchs, at least in the full bearing or practical experience of it, the honor of the disclosure was reserved to Moses, who was the first sent with a message in the name of Jehovah, and enabled to attest it by a series of public miracles.

9-11. 摩西将这话告诉以色列人——以色列人所受的严酷对待似乎已完全压垮了他们的心灵,也激怒了他们,以致他们拒绝再听任何信息
(出 14:12)。
连摩西自己的信心也在动摇;他若非从神那里得着明确的命令,要他毫不迟延地再去见百姓,同时又以更果断、更坚决的语气向君王重申要求,他几乎要绝望地放弃这事业。
英文原文
9-11. Moses spake so unto the children of Israel--The increased severities inflicted on the Israelites seem to have so entirely crushed their spirits, as well as irritated them, that they refused to listen to any more communications
(Ex 14:12).
Even the faith of Moses himself was faltering; and he would have abandoned the enterprise in despair had he not received a positive command from God to revisit the people without delay, and at the same time renew their demand on the king in a more decisive and peremptory tone.

12. 那么,法老怎会听……我又是拙口笨舌的人?——这是希伯来人的比喻说法;他们既受教导视任何部分的割礼为完全的标记,便以未受割礼来表示其缺陷或不合用。此处的话表明摩西何等痛苦地感到自己缺乏口才或说服力。他似乎和弟兄们一样陷入了深切的沮丧,带着紧张的胆怯退缩,不敢承担这艰难——甚至近乎绝望——的事业。他既在与切身利益攸关的百姓面前如此不成功,又怎能指望在一个骄傲自大、拥有绝对权力的君王心中留下更深的印象?在百姓如此不愿迎接祂所宣告的临近拯救之中,神对祂百姓所显的宽容忍耐何等显著!他们一方面任何乖僻的怨言或漫不经心的冷淡,都没有阻碍祂恩典旨意的发展。相反,此处一如通常,祂的护理在降罚之时行得缓慢,而在解救困苦或赐下恩惠之时,却仿佛行得更快。
英文原文
12. how then shall . . . who am of uncircumcised lips?--A metaphorical expression among the Hebrews, who, taught to look on the circumcision of any part as denoting perfection, signified its deficiency or unsuitableness by uncircumcision. The words here express how painfully Moses felt his want of utterance or persuasive oratory. He seems to have fallen into the same deep despondency as his brethren, and to be shrinking with nervous timidity from a difficult, if not desperate, cause. If he had succeeded so ill with the people, whose dearest interests were all involved, what better hope could he entertain of his making more impression on the heart of a king elated with pride and strong in the possession of absolute power? How strikingly was the indulgent forbearance of God displayed towards His people amid all their backwardness to hail His announcement of approaching deliverance! No perverse complaints or careless indifference on their part retarded the development of His gracious purposes. On the contrary, here, as generally, the course of His providence is slow in the infliction of judgments, while it moves more quickly, as it were, when misery is to be relieved or benefits conferred.

摩西的 家谱
14、15. 以色列人家长的名字——即他们家族的首领或族长。在这段叙述中插入这份家谱,目的是要证实摩西和亚伦的谱系。他们二人既奉命在埃及朝廷所行的事上担任如此重要的角色,后来又被提升到神政府和教会中如此高的职位,其血统的准确追溯便具有最大的重要性。流便和西缅既是雅各最年长的儿子,便略加提及,然后史家进而列举利未家中的主要人物
[出 6:16-19]。

THE GENEALOGY OF MOSES.
14, 15. These be the heads of their fathers' houses--chiefs or governors of their houses. The insertion of this genealogical table in this part of the narrative was intended to authenticate the descent of Moses and Aaron. Both of them were commissioned to act so important a part in the events transacted in the court of Egypt and afterwards elevated to so high offices in the government and Church of God, that it was of the utmost importance that their lineage should be accurately traced. Reuben and Simeon being the oldest of Jacob's sons, a passing notice is taken of them, and then the historian advances to the enumeration of the principal persons in the house of Levi
[Ex 6:16-19].

23. 以利沙巴——即伊利沙伯(Elizabethan)。这些关于亚伦家系的细枝末节都有详细记载,而他自己的家系却略过不提,这表明摩西真正的谦逊。一个野心勃勃的人或冒名顶替的骗子,必会采取迥然不同的做法。
英文原文
23. Elisheba--that is, Elizabethan. These minute particulars recorded of the family of Aaron, while he has passed over his own, indicate the real modesty of Moses. An ambitious man or an impostor would have acted in a different manner.

应许的 重申
1. 耶和华对摩西说——耶和华对祂百姓的过失与软弱恒久忍耐、宽容待之,体恤摩西因这首次会面所生的挫折,便以使命将迅速且圆满完成的保证来安慰他。
