27, 28. the people bowed the head, and worshipped--All the preceding directions were communicated through the elders, and the Israelites, being deeply solemnized by the influence of past and prospective events, gave prompt and faithful obedience.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Christ himself, when a child, heard and asked questions, Luke ii. 46 . [2.] It concerns us all rightly to understand the meaning of those holy ordinances wherein we worship God, what is the nature and what the end of them, what is signified and what intended, what is the duty expected from us in them and what are the advantages to be expected by us.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

None of all the providences of God concerning the Jewish church was more illustrious, than the deliverance of the children of Israel out of Egypt. The first-born of the Egyptians are slain, ver. 29, 30. Orders are given immediately for their discharge, ver. 31-33.
