Exodus 6:3

exo 6:3

God Almighty: El shadday, God Almighty; for shadday is evidently of affinity with the Arabic shadid, strong, mighty, and shiddat, strength, might; so the LXX in Job render it παντοκρατωρ, Vulgate, in Pentateuch, Omnipotens, and Syriac, in Job, chasino. Gen 17:1, Gen 28:3, Gen 35:11, Gen 48:3

but by my name: If Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, did not know the name Jehovah, then Moses must have used it in Genesis by prolepsis, or anticipation. Mr. Locke and others read it interrogatively, for the negative particle, lo, not, has frequently this power in Hebrew: "I appeared unto Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, and by my name Jehovah was I not also made known unto them?"

Jehovah: Exo 3:14; Gen 12:7, Gen 12:8, Gen 13:18, Gen 22:14; Psa 68:4, JAH, Psa 83:18; Isa 42:8, Isa 44:6, Isa 52:5, Isa 52:6; Joh 8:58; Rev 1:4

Exodus 6:8

exo 6:8

swear: Heb. lift up my hand, The ancient mode of appealing to God was by lifting up the right hand, and was considered as a form of swearing. Hence yamin, in Hebrew the right hand, is in Arabic an oath, and as a verb, to take an oath. A similar custom prevailed among the heathens. See Virg. n. 1. xii. v. 196. Gen 14:22; Deu 32:40; Eze 20:5, Eze 20:6, Eze 20:15, Eze 20:23, Eze 20:28, Eze 20:42, Eze 36:7, Eze 47:14

children: Exo 6:9, Exo 3:13, Exo 4:29-31, Exo 5:19-21

am: The italics shew that this word has been supplied by our translators; hence it may be inferred by some that Moses was uncircumcised. The difficulty is in some measure cleared away, by using the word uncircumcised in the sense of unsuitable or incapacitated (see note on Exo 6:30), which agrees with Exo 4:10 where Moses complains of want of eloquence; but by substituting is for am in this place, the connection with the former part of the verse is preserved; "For if the chosen seed, the circumcised sons of Jacob, refuse to hear me," as though Moses had said, "how can I expect to make uncircumcised Pharaoh pay attention to me?"
