The last account of the Lord's personal and particular manifestation of himself, which we met with before the one related in this Chapter, was that to the Patriarch Jacob. Genesis 46:2-4. A period of more than two hundred years before. Here we read of the Lord's appearing to Moses in a flame of fire in a bush. The Lord begins in this method his manifestations to Moses' calls to him by name out of the midst of the bush: proclaims his own glorious and incommunicable name: declares himself to be the covenant God of Israel: assures him that he hath seen Israel's sorrow, and heard their groans; that he will deliver his people and bring them up out of Egypt: appoints Moses as their deliverer: prepares him to expect difficulties, but assures him of an happy issue. These are among the principal things contained in this Chapter.
Horeb is the same as Sinai. Wherever Jesus manifests himself to his people, this is the mountain of God. And even Sinai leads to Christ. Galatians 3:24.
