SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:6
¶ Entonces Samuel dijo al pueblo: el SEÑOR es quien hizo a Moisés y a Aarón, y que sacó a vuestros padres de la tierra de Egipto.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. And Samuel said unto the people , etc.] Having cleared and established his own character, he proceeds to lay before the people some of the great things God had done for them formerly, and quite down to the present time, the more to aggravate their ingratitude in rejecting God as their King: [it is] the Lord that advanced Moses and Aaron ; raised them from a low estate, the one in a foreign country in Midian, the other in bondage in Egypt, to be deliverers, guides, and governors of his people Israel. Kimchi thinks this refers to what goes before, and that the sense is, that God, that raised Moses and Aaron to great honour and dignity, was a witness between him and the people; in which he is followed by some Christian interpreters. Ben Gersom makes mention of the same, but rather approves of the connection of the words with what follows, as does Abarbinel, and is doubtless most correct; the Targum is, “who hath done mighty things by the hands of Moses and Aaron:” and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt ; when they were in bondage there, and that by the means of Moses and Aaron, by whose hands he wrought signs and wonders and inflicted plagues on the Egyptians, which made them willing at last to let Israel go.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-15 - The work of ministers is to reason with people; not only to exhort an direct, but to persuade, to convince men's judgments, and so to gai their wills and affections. Samuel reasons of the righteous acts of the Lord. Those who follow God faithfully, he will enable to continu following him. Disobedience would certainly be the ruin of Israel. We mistake if we think that we can escape God's justice, by trying to shake off his dominion. If we resolve that God shall not rule us, ye he will judge us.
