Commentary on the Bible · Written before 1832.

And it came to pass - Here the seventh chapter should commence, as there is a complete ending of the sixth with Exo 6:27, and the Exo 6:30 of this chapter is intimately connected with the 1st verse of the succeeding. The principal subjects in this chapter have been so amply considered in the notes, that little of importance remains to be done. On the nature of a covenant (See Clarke’s note on Exo 6:4). ample information may be obtained by referring to Gen 6:18, and Gen 15:9-18, which places the reader will do well to consult.

This site's exposition

And it came to pass on the day when the Lord spake unto Moses

on Exodus 6:28-30

The narrative picks up where verse 13 left it, and Moses raises the same objection in the same words he had used at verse 12. Adam Clarke held that the chapter should have ended at verse 27, since verse 30 runs straight into the answer given at 7:1. The book has now recorded his objections at 3:11, 4:1, 4:10, 4:13, verse 12 and here, and the plagues begin with the argument still open.
