Exodus 14:15 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: — Exodus 14:15
Source Coverage: Exodus 14:15-20
Moses' silent prayers of faith prevailed more with God than Israel's loud outcries of fear. The pillar of cloud and fire came behind them, where they needed a guard, and it was a wall between them and their enemies. The word and providence of God have a black and dark side toward sin and sinners, but a bright and pleasant side toward the people of the Lord. He, who divided between light and darkness, , allotted darkness to the Egyptians,
and light to the Israelites. Such a difference there will be between the inheritance of the saints in light, and that utter darkness which will be the portion of hypocrites for ever.
