Psalms 105:26 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 105:26

He sent Moses his servant
Into Egypt, to deliver his people Israel out of the hands of the Egyptians; in which, as in other things, he approved himself to be a faithful servant to the Lord; of this mission of his, see ( Exodus 3:10-14 ) . In this he was a type of Christ, who appeared in the form of a servant, and really was one; God's righteous servant as Mediator, though his Son as a divine Person; sent by him to redeem his people out of worse than Egyptian bondage, from sin, Satan, the law, its curse and condemnation.

And Aaron whom he had chosen;
to go along with Moses, to be a mouth for him, and a prophet to him, ( Exodus 4:16 ) ( 7:1 ) , who also was a type of Christ, being a priest and good spokesman, chosen and called of God, a holy and an anointed one. The Targum is,

``in whom he was well pleased.''
