Exodus 5:23 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.

Ver. 23. Neither hast thou delivered.] Here Moses himself was too short spirited. He considered not, belike, that God's promises do many times bear a long date, neither is it fit to set him a time, or to awaken him whom our soul loveth, until he please. Do but "wait," saith the Lord. Hab 2:3 You shall be delivered, you shall be delivered, you shall be delivered; you shall, you shall. So much that text in effect soundeth and assureth.
