SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:9
De esta manera habló Moisés a los hijos de Israel; mas ellos no escuchaban a Moisés a causa de la congoja de espíritu, y de la dura servidumbre.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 6:9
Verse 9. But they hearkened not] Their bondage was become so extremely oppressive that they had lost all hope of ever being redeemed from it. After this verse the Samaritan adds, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians: for it is better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness. This appears to be borrowed from chap. xiv. 12. Anguish of spirit] jwr rxq kotzer ruach, shortness of spirit or breath.
The words signify that their labour was so continual, and their bondage so cruel and oppressive, that they had scarcely time to breathe.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - We are most likely to prosper in attempts to glorify God, and to be useful to men, when we learn by experience that we can do nothing of ourselves; when our whole dependence is placed on him, and our onl expectation is from him. Moses had been expecting what God would do but now he shall see what he will do. God would now be known by his name Jehovah, that is, a God performing what he had promised, an finishing his own work. God intended their happiness: I will take yo to me for a people, a peculiar people, and I will be to you a God. Mor than this we need not ask, we cannot have, to make us happy. He intended his own glory: Ye shall know that I am the Lord. These goo words, and comfortable words, should have revived the droopin Israelites, and have made them forget their misery; but they were s taken up with their troubles, that they did not heed God's promises. By indulging discontent and fretfulness, we deprive ourselves of the comfort we might have, both from God's word and from his providence and go comfortless.
