Madian... A city and country of Arabia, which took its name from Madian
the son of Abraham, by Cetura, and was peopled by his posterity.
2:16. And the priest of Madian had seven daughters, who came to draw
water: and when the troughs were filled, desired to water their father's
flocks.
2:17. And the shepherds came and drove them away: and Moses arose, and
defending the maids, watered their sheep.
2:18: And when they returned to Raguel their father, he said to them:
Why are ye come sooner than usual?
Raguel... He had two names, being also called Jethro, as appears from
the first verse of the following chapter.
2:19. They answered: A man of Egypt delivered us from the hands of the
shepherds: and he drew water also with us, and gave the sheep to drink.
2:20. But he said: Where is he? why have you let the man go? call him
that he may eat bread.
2:21. And Moses swore that he would dwell with him. And he took Sephora
his daughter to wife:
2:22. And she bore him a son, whom he called Gersam, saying: I have been
a stranger in a foreign country. And she bore another, whom he called
Eliezer, saying: For the God of my father, my helper, hath delivered me
out of the hand of Pharao.
Gersam... Or Gershom. This name signifies a stranger there: as Eliezer
signifies the help of God.
2:23. Now after a long time the king of Egypt died: and the children of
Israel groaning, cried out because of the works: and their cry went up
unto God from the works.
2:24. And he heard their groaning, and remembered the covenant which he
made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
2:25. And the Lord looked upon the children of Israel, and he knew them.
Knew them... That is, he had respect to them, he cast a merciful eye
upon them.
Exodus Chapter 3
God appeareth to Moses in a bush, and sendeth him to deliver Israel.
3:1. Now Moses fed the sheep of Jethro, his father in law, the priest of
Madian: and he drove the flock to the inner parts of the desert, and
came to the mountain of God, Horeb.
3:2. And the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of
a bush: and he saw that the bush was on fire, and was not burnt.
The Lord appeared... That is, an angel representing God, and speaking in
his name.
3:3. And Moses said: I will go, and see this great sight, why the bush
is not burnt.
3:4. And when the Lord saw that he went forward to see, he called to him
out of the midst of the bush and said: Moses, Moses. And he answered:
Here I am.
3:5. And he said: Come not nigh hither, put off the shoes from thy feet;
for the place, whereon thou standest, is holy ground.
3:6. And he said: I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Moses hid his face: for he durst
not look at God.
3:7. And the Lord said to him: I have seen the affliction of my people
in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of the rigour of them that
are over the works;
3:8. And knowing their sorrow, I am come down to deliver them out of the
hands of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land into a good
and spacious land, into a land that floweth with milk and honey, to the
places of the Chanaanite, and Hethite, and Amorrhite, and Pherezite, and
Hevite, and Jebusite.
