SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:21
les dijeron: Mire el SEÑOR sobre vosotros, y juzgue; pues habéis hecho heder nuestro olor delante del Faraón y de sus siervos, dándoles el cuchillo en las manos para que nos maten.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 5:21
Verse 21. The Lord look upon you, and judge] These were hasty and unkind expressions; but the afflicted must be allowed the privilege of complaining; it is all the solace that such sorrow can find; and if in such distress words are spoken which should not be justified, yet the considerate and benevolent will hear them with indulgence. God is merciful; and the stroke of this people was heavier even than their groaning. Put a sword in their hand] Given them a pretense which they had not before, to oppress us even unto death.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-23 - The Egyptian task-masters were very severe. See what need we have to pray that we may be delivered from wicked men. The head-workmen justl complained to Pharaoh: but he taunted them. The malice of Satan ha often represented the service and worship of God, as fit employmen only for those who have nothing else to do, and the business only of the idle; whereas, it is the duty of those who are most busy in the world. Those who are diligent in doing sacrifice to the Lord, will before God, escape the doom of the slothful servant, though with me they do not. The Israelites should have humbled themselves before God and have taken to themselves the shame of their sin; but instead of that, they quarrel with those who were to be their deliverers. Mose returned to the Lord. He knew that what he had said and done, was by God's direction; and therefore appeals to him. When we find ourselve at any time perplexed in the way of our duty, we ought to go to God and lay open our case before him by fervent prayer. Disappointments in our work must not drive us from our God, but still we must ponder wh they are sent __________________________________________________________________
