Berean Study Bible

You performed signs and wonders
This phrase highlights God's miraculous interventions, which are often referred to as "signs and wonders" in the Bible. The Hebrew words for "signs" (אוֹת, 'oth) and "wonders" (מוֹפֵת, mopheth) denote acts that are extraordinary and serve as divine indicators of God's power and presence. These acts were not just for spectacle but were meant to reveal God's sovereignty and authority over creation, particularly in the context of liberating the Israelites from Egyptian bondage. Historically, these events are rooted in the Exodus narrative, where God demonstrated His power through plagues and miracles, affirming His covenant with Israel.

against Pharaoh, against all his officials and all the people of his land
This phrase underscores the comprehensive nature of God's actions against Egypt. Pharaoh, as the ruler, symbolizes the epitome of earthly power and resistance against God. The Hebrew term for "Pharaoh" (פַּרְעֹה, Par'oh) is a title for the Egyptian king, who was considered a deity by his people. By performing signs and wonders against Pharaoh and his officials, God was dismantling the perceived divine status of the Egyptian leadership and demonstrating His supremacy. This historical context is crucial, as it shows God's direct intervention in human affairs to fulfill His promises to His people.

for You knew that they acted arrogantly against our fathers
Here, the phrase highlights God's omniscience and justice. The Hebrew word for "arrogantly" (זָדוֹן, zadon) implies pride and insolence. The Egyptians' arrogance was not just against the Israelites but against God Himself, as they refused to acknowledge His authority. This arrogance is a recurring theme in the Bible, where human pride leads to downfall. The "fathers" refer to the patriarchs and the generations of Israelites who suffered under Egyptian oppression. God's awareness of their suffering and the Egyptians' arrogance prompted His intervention, showcasing His justice and faithfulness.

You made a name for Yourself that endures to this day
This phrase speaks to the lasting impact of God's actions. The "name" (שֵׁם, shem) in Hebrew culture represents one's reputation and character. By delivering Israel through miraculous means, God established a reputation that transcends time, affirming His identity as the one true God. This enduring name is a testament to His faithfulness and power, which continues to be recognized and revered. The historical and scriptural context of this phrase emphasizes the importance of God's actions in shaping the identity and faith of His people, serving as a perpetual reminder of His covenant and promises.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 10. - They dealt proudly. The "proud dealing" of the Egyptians is spoken of in Exodus 18:11. That God "got himself a name" by the signs and wonders shown in Egypt is often declared (see Exodus 9:16; Exodus 14:17; Exodus 15:14-16, etc.).
