How preachers through history handled this text
12 public-domain excerpts on Exodus 2, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“The Israelites' bondage in Egypt continued, though the murdering of their infants did not continue. Sometimes the Lord suffers the rod of the wicked to lie very long and very heavy on the lot of the righteous. At last they began to think of God under their troubles. It is a sign that the Lord is coming towards us with deliverance, when he inclines and enables us to cry to him for it. God heard their groaning; he made it to appear that he took notice of their complaints. He remembered his covenant, of which he is ever mindful. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Exodus 2:23–35 (Public Domain)
