SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:29
A esta palabra Moiss huy, y se hizo extranjero en tierra de Madin, donde engendr dos hijos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. Then fled Moses at this saying , etc.] For hereby the thing was known to Pharaoh, being presently carried to court, who sought to kill him for it, ( Exodus 2:15) The Jews have a very fabulous story, that Moses was taken up upon it, and put in prison, and delivered into the hands of an executioner to be put to death; but that God wrought a miracle for him; he made his neck as hard as a pillar of marble, and the sword turned upon the neck of the executioner, and he died; and God sent Michael, the prince, in the likeness of the executioner, who took Moses by the hand, and led him out of Egypt, and left him at the borders of it, the distance of three days journey but the truth of the matter is, as Stephen relates, he fled directly, as soon as he heard the above words, for he knew his life was in the utmost danger: and was a stranger in the land of Madian ; which, as Josephus says f340 , lay near the Red sea, and took its name from one of the sons of Abraham by Keturah. Philo the Jew says, it was on the borders of Arabia; and according to Jerom f342 , it was near Arnon and Areopolis, the ruins of which only were shown in his days; here he sojourned many years with Jethro the priest of that place: where he begat two sons ; whose names were Gershom and Eliezer, having married Zipporah, the daughter of Jethro, ( Exodus 18:2-4).
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.
