Exodus Rightly Divided: Volume Three — From the Red Sea to the Sinai Covenant (A King James Verse-by-Verse Commentary on Exodus 16–24)

The sea was behind them and the mountain was ahead. Between deliverance and the covenant lay the wilderness — where God fed a complaining people, tested them, and then called them to Himself in fire and thunder. Volume Three carries the Exodus from the far shore of the Red Sea to the foot of Sinai, Exodus chapters 16 through 24, handled the way the King James text demands: one verse at a time, in the order God gave it, with Scripture left to interpret Scripture. This is the Williams Right Division method. Every verse receives the same treatment: the King James text in full, a plain-English rendering that preserves the doctrine, a word study opening the underlying Hebrew, the hidden treasures the plain reading carries but does not always announce, and cross-references that anchor each verse to the wider witness of the Bible. Volume Three covers the wilderness provision and the giving of the Law: the manna and the quail, the water drawn from the rock at Rephidim, the battle with Amalek and the hands of Moses held up, Jethro's counsel and the appointing of judges, the arrival at Sinai, the thunder and the trumpet on the mount, the Ten Commandments spoken by the voice of God, the judgments of the Book of the Covenant, and the covenant ratified in blood with the elders beholding the God of Israel. The Rock is read as Christ, the manna as the bread from heaven, and the covenant blood as the shadow of a better testament. No tradition of men is allowed to overrule the text. The standard is the King James Bible, and the witnesses are Scripture's own. Hebrew terms are opened with transliteration and Strong's numbering so the reader can study further and prove every claim in the mouth of two or three witnesses. Whether you are teaching, preaching, or studying on your own, this commentary hands you the verse, the language behind it, and the threads that tie it to the whole counsel of God. Read more
