On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Yea, though God called himself the God of his father, and a God in covenant with him, yet he was afraid. The more we see of God the more cause we shall see to worship him with reverence and godly fear. Even the manifestations of God's grace and covenant-love should increase our humble reverence of him.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Moreover, the time, as well as all the circumstances of this miraculous appearance, were such as to give him an illustrious display of God's faithfulness to His promises. The period of Israel's journey and affliction in Egypt had been predicted (Ge 15:13), and it was during the last year of the term which had still to run that the Lord appeared in the burning bush.

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

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, are particularly named, because with Abraham the covenant was first made, and with Isaac and Jacob often expressly renewed; and these three were distinguished from their brethren, and chosen to be the trustees of the covenant, when their brethren were rejected.
