Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 1. - Now shalt thou see. There was encouragement in the very word "now." Moses' complaint was, that God delayed his coming, would not show himself, was "slack concerning his promise." In reply he is told that there is to be no longer any delay - the work is just about to commence. "Now shalt thou see." With a strong hand shall he let them go. The "strong hand" is not Pharaoh's, but God's. "By means of my strong hand" (or "overpowering might") "laid upon him shall he be induced to let them go," and similarly with the other clause. Drive them out. This phrase well expresses the final anxiety of Pharaoh to be rid of the Israelites. (See Exodus 12:31, 22.)

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersVI.GOD'S RENEWAL AND ENLARGEMENT OF HIS PROMISES.(1) Now shalt thou see.--Moses' complaint was that God delayed, and "was slack as concerning His promise." Hitherto He had not "delivered His people at all." The answer,"Now shalt thou see," is an assurance that there will be no more delay; the work is just about to begin, and Moses will behold it. He will then cease to doubt.With a strong hand shall he let them go.--Rather, through a strong hand: i.e., through the compulsion which my strong hand will exert on him,Drive them.--Comp. Exodus 12:31-33.
