Exodus 12:33-35 And the Egyptians were urgent on the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.… I. That the Israelites were given their freedom by those who had long oppressed them; and so the Church shall be freed by those who have long enslaved it. II. That the Israelites, in availing themselves of their freedom, had to make many temporary shifts; and so the Church, in stepping into liberty, will have to encounter many perplexities. III. That the Israelites, going into freedom, took with them all the wealth they could get from the Egyptians; and so the Church, in entering upon its liberty, should avail itself of all the valuables it can obtain from the world. (J. S. Exell, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men. |
