Ex. 6:1 The strong hand in this verse belongs to God, not to Pharaoh. The Hebrew verb translated “send . . . out” is translated “let . . . go” in 3:20 and in the repeated command, “Let my people go” (e.g., 8:1).
Ex. 6:3–8 God appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (e.g., Gen. 17:1; 26:2; 28:13), but by my name the Lord I did not make myself known to them. This may mean that the patriarchs did not fully understand the essential character of God as represented by the name Yahweh.
Ex. 6:6 redeem. See note on 15:13.
Ex. 6:7 I will take you to be my people, and I will be your God expresses the central idea of Israel’s relationship with the Lord (see Deut. 7:6–9). God will give them great blessing, protection, and joy. and you shall know that I am the Lord your God. God will reveal himself to Israel through his acts on their behalf (see Ex. 10:2).
Ex. 6:12 I am of uncircumcised lips (compare v. 30). It is difficult to determine whether Moses means something different from being “slow of speech and of tongue” (4:10). The phrase may echo 4:24–26. If so, Moses could be saying that he feels not only physically unable to speak (4:10) but also personally unfit to fulfill the task (compare Isa. 6:5).
Ex. 6:14–25 The genealogy begins as if the sons or heads of the household of Jacob’s sons will be listed in birth order (v. 14). First it names the sons of Reuben (v. 14b) and then Simeon (v. 15). Then it stops to focus on the sons of Levi (v. 16) and in particular on Aaron, Moses (v. 20), and Aaron’s sons (vv. 23, 25). The genealogy functions primarily to preserve (1) the family history of Moses and Aaron as the ones through whom the Lord led Israel out of Egypt, and (2) the history of Aaron’s sons as those who were called to be priests in Israel (see 28:1). Other figures in the genealogy are likely included because of their roles in events narrated in the book of Numbers: the sons of Korah (Ex. 6:24; Num. 16:1–50); and Aaron’s grandson Phinehas (Ex. 6:25; Num. 25:1–9). Like many biblical genealogies, this one does not include every single generation.
