Exodus 16 Commentary
Exodus 16 Commentary Chapter 15 was about a praise song that was quickly followed by grumbling—anti-praise.

Exodus 11 Commentary
Exodus 11 Commentary The killing of the firstborns. Chapter 11 reflects the last sign. With this sign, Pharaoh gives in.

Of course, the last sign helped PharaohContinueContinue reading “Exodus 11 Commentary”
Exodus 10 Commentary
Exodus 10 Commentary The signs begin to affect the economy of the nation – a fact Pharaoh’s officials appreciate more than their boss.

TheContinueContinue reading “Exodus 10 Commentary”
