Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) For my name's sake.--This is the express ground of Moses' pleading for the people in the passage just referred to, and again in Exodus 32:12; Deuteronomy 9:28; and it is repeatedly given, as in Deuteronomy 32:27-28, as the ground on which the Lord spared His rebellious people. Had they been treated according to their deserts, and destroyed for their sins, the heathen would have said that God was unable to deliver them.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewBut I actedוָאַ֙עַשׂ֙ (wā·’a·‘aś)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - first person common singularStrong's 6213: To do, makefor the sakeלְמַ֣עַן (lə·ma·‘an)PrepositionStrong's 4616: Purpose -- intentof My name,שְׁמִ֔י (šə·mî)Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singularStrong's 8034: A namethat it should notלְבִלְתִּ֥י (lə·ḇil·tî)Preposition-lStrong's 1115: A failure of, not, except, without, unless, besides, because not, untilbe profanedהֵחֵ֛ל (hê·ḥêl)Verb - Nifal - Infinitive constructStrong's 2490: To bore, to wound, to dissolve, to profane, to break, to begin, to playin the eyesלְעֵינֵ֥י (lə·‘ê·nê)Preposition-l | Noun - cdcStrong's 5869: An eye, a fountainof the nationsהַגּוֹיִ֖ם (hag·gō·w·yim)Article | Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 1471: A foreign nation, a Gentile, a troop of animals, a flight of locustsamong whom they were living,הֵ֣מָּה (hêm·māh)Pronoun - third person masculine pluralStrong's 1992: Theyin whoseאֲשֶׁר־ (’ă·šer-)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order thatsightלְעֵ֣ינֵיהֶ֔ם (lə·‘ê·nê·hem)Preposition-l | Noun - cdc | third person masculine pluralStrong's 5869: An eye, a fountainI had revealed Myselfנוֹדַ֤עְתִּי (nō·w·ḏa‘·tî)Verb - Nifal - Perfect - first person common singularStrong's 3045: To knowto [Israel]אֲלֵיהֶם֙ (’ă·lê·hem)Preposition | third person masculine pluralStrong's 413: Near, with, among, toby bringing them outלְהוֹצִיאָ֖ם (lə·hō·w·ṣî·’ām)Preposition-l | Verb - Hifil - Infinitive construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 3318: To go, bring, out, direct and proximof Egypt.מִצְרָֽיִם׃ (miṣ·rā·yim)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 4714: Egypt -- a son of Ham, also his descendants and their country in Northwest AfricaJump to PreviousActed Acting Dwelt Egypt Forth Heathen Honour Midst Name's Nations Pollute Polluted Profaned Sake Sight Worked Wrought
