Êxodo 19:3 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 19:3

And Moses went up unto God
Who was in the pillar of cloud upon the top of the mount; this was on the second day, according to the Targum of Jonathan: "the Lord called unto him out of the mountain"; or had called unto him, as Aben Ezra, since without his leave he could not have gone up. He called to him out of the cloud upon the top of the mountain to come up, and being come near him, he called to him, and spoke with an articulate voice, as follows:

saying, thus shalt thou say, to the house of Jacob, and tell the
children of Israel;
which are the same, and are described as descending from the same person, who was called by both names; the one was his name in the former and lower state of his life, the other in the latter and more prosperous one; and his posterity are called by these two names, as Bishop Patrick observes, to put them in mind, that they who had lately been as low as Jacob, when he went to Padanaram, were now grown as great as God made him when he came from thence, and was called Israel.

Êxodo 19:3 In-Context

1 No terceiro mês depois que os filhos de Israel haviam saído da terra do Egito, no mesmo dia chegaram ao deserto de Sinai.

2 Tendo partido de Refidim, entraram no deserto de Sinai, onde se acamparam; Israel, pois, ali acampou-se em frente do monte.

3 Então subiu Moisés a Deus, e do monte o Senhor o chamou, dizendo: Assim falarás � casa de Jacó, e anunciarás aos filhos de Israel:

4 Vós tendes visto o que fiz: aos egípcios, como vos levei sobre asas de águias, e vos trouxe a mim.

5 Agora, pois, se atentamente ouvirdes a minha voz e guardardes o meu pacto, então sereis a minha possessão peculiar dentre todos os povos, porque minha é toda a terra;
