Bible Comments

This is the first time we meet with that solemn prefatory expression which, in the succeeding parts of scripture, holy men, acting under the divine authority, adopted: Thus saith the Lord. And when God speaks well may man hear. Jeremiah 2:14; Malachi 3:17. How sweet the title! How precious the relation! Isaiah 63:3-4.

23 And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.
