exodus 6

Question
Answer
Note---10-02-2016


6:1 God answers Moses questions
Why does God single out His name to Moses?

Jehovah=the God who is always present
Why would God make a distinction between the two names, God almighty and Jehovah?

Note that the answer lies with the anti-type. When Jesus comes again he will not leave us again.
We know that Jesus is redeemer, Emmanuel God with us, Michael is battle mode, but what is Jehovah? What mode is that?




6:9 Moses comes with encouraging words, but the people simply could not receive it.
Did Aaron also hear the voice of the Lord; or did God only speak to Moses?

6:13
Why are the ages of some mentioned and others not mentioned. 6:16 & 18
Levi: Kohath: Amram: Moses
6:20 Amram married to his aunt
What is the significance of the names mentioned here. Are we to understand that these are the chosen ones from God? Or are these the only pure breed that were remaining?  These names do not seem like a great multitude of people.
It seems that not all the children were mentioned, but the firstborn for all mothers/concubines.
` Based on the numb ers of the tribes and people mentioned this does not seem like a great multitude.


 It seems strange that a person would live to 137 years and only have 3 children in a day and age when there were not contraceptives. It was also a time that a man who had man children was called blessed
Is it possibiile that Amram had other wives other than jochebed? Is it possible that he could have had many more children by different mothers?

We are probably told of Jochebed because she is the mother of Moses and she is significant as a result.
Who or what makes an elder in the tribe of Israel?

6:14 & 25 Note there is distinction of the men being mentioned. Note these were the men who spoke to Pharaoh. So the names mentioned are just that, the elders.
