Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
[even]
unto this day
The prophet here descends to particular instances of the power,
wisdom, and goodness of God; and begins with the miracles wrought
in Egypt, the plagues inflicted on the Egyptians for refusing to
let Israel go; these were set among them, they were true and real
things, and obvious to everyone's view; there was no deception in
them, they were plain to the senses of men; and the remembrance
of them continued among the Egyptians to the times of the
prophet; the tradition of what was done was handed down among
them to that age: for that any marks of these things remained is
not to be supposed; the tracks of Pharaoh's chariot wheels to be
still seen in the Red sea must be rejected as fabulous, though
Orosius relates it: and in Israel, and amongst [other]
men:
that is, signs and wonders were set among the Israelites, or
wrought for them; such as bringing them out of Egypt; leading
them through the Red sea as on dry land; feeding them in the
wilderness with manna and quails; subduing their enemies, and
settling them in the land of Canaan; and in other nations very
wonderful things have been done in one age or another: or else
the meaning is, that the miracles done in Egypt were not only
remembered there to this time, but also by the Israelites, and by
other men, to whom the knowledge of these things came; on account
of which God was more or less everywhere glorified, as follows:
and hast made thee a name as at this day;
that is, got praise, honour, and glory, in Egypt, in Israel, and
in other nations.
