Exodus 2:25
"And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And God looked upon the children of Israel,.... With an eye of pity and compassion, and saw all the hardships they laboured under, and all the injuries that were done

unto them: and God had respect unto them; had a favourable regard to them; or "knew" (b) not only them, the Israelites, and loved them, and approved of them, and owned them as his own, all which words of knowledge sometimes signify; but he knew their sorrows and sufferings, and took notice of what was done to them secretly; see Exo 3:7 . (b) "et eognovit", Pagninus, Montanus, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. Next: Exodus Chapter 3 Sacred Texts | Bible « Previous: John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible: Exodus: Exodu...
