SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:17

¶ Pero cuando se acercaba el tiempo de la promesa, la cual Dios había jurado a Abraham, el pueblo creci y se multiplic en Egipto,

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 17. But when the time of the promise drew nigh , etc.] That is, the time of the four
hundred years; when God promised to deliver the seed of Abraham out of their affliction and servitude, and bring them into the land of Canaan to inherit it: which God had sworn to Abraham ; in ( Genesis 15:13,14) for though there is no express mention made of an oath, yet there is a most solemn affirmation, which is equivalent to one; the Alexandrian copy and some others, and the Vulgate Latin version read, which God promised unto Abraham; the people grew and multiplied in Egypt ; (see Exodus 1:7) insomuch, that though their number were but threescore and ten when they went down to Egypt, and though various methods were taken to destroy them, and lessen their numbers, yet in little more than two hundred years, their number was increased to six hundred thousand, and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men, besides old men, women, and children, and besides two and twenty thousand Levites, ( Numbers 1:46, 3:39). And it seems, that they multiplied the more towards the time when the promise of deliverance drew nigh to be accomplished, and even when they were the most afflicted, ( Exodus 1:12,20).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 17-29 - Let us not be
discouraged at the slowness of the fulfilling of God' promises. Suffering times often are growing times with the church. God is preparing for his people's deliverance, when their day is darkest and their distress deepest. Moses was exceeding fair, "fair towar God;" it is the beauty of holiness which is in God's sight of grea price. He was wonderfully preserved in his infancy; for God will tak special care of those of whom he designs to make special use. And di he thus protect the child Moses? Much more will he secure the interest of his holy child Jesus, from the enemies who are gathered togethe against him. They persecuted Stephen for disputing in defence of Chris and his gospel: in opposition to these they set up Moses and his law They may understand, if they do not wilfully shut their eyes agains the light, that God will, by this Jesus, deliver them out of a wors slavery than that of Egypt. Although men prolong their own miseries yet the Lord will take care of his servants, and effect his own design of mercy.
