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.''

Psalms 105:26 In-Context

24 et pro nihilo habuerunt terram desiderabilem non crediderunt verbo eius
25 et murmurabant in tabernaculis suis non exaudierunt vocem Domini
26 et elevavit manum suam super eos ut prosterneret eos in deserto
27 et ut deiceret semen eorum in nationibus et dispergeret eos in regionibus
28 et initiati sunt Beelphegor et comederunt sacrificia mortuorum
