(a)2:5 The women would not have bathed in the main part of the river, with rushing waters, but in a small cove in the river bank, where the waters would be still. The word ‘alvei’ does not mean ‘river,’ but has a meaning, in this context, like the English word ‘cove.’(Conte)
(b)2:10
Moses: Or Moyses, in the Egyptian tongue, signifies one taken or saved out of the water.(Challoner)
(c)2:12
He slew the Egyptian: This he did by a particular inspiration of God; as a prelude to his delivering the people from their oppression and bondage. He thought, says St. Stephen, Acts. 7:25, that his brethren understood that God by his hand would save them. But such particular and extraordinary examples are not to be imitated.(Challoner)
(d)2:15
Madian: A city and country of Arabia, which took its name from Madian the son of Abraham, by Cetura, and was peopled by his posterity.(Challoner)
(e)2:18
Raguel: He had two names, being also called Jethro, as appears from the first verse of the following chapter.(Challoner)
(f)2:22
Gersam: Or Gershom. This name signifies a stranger there: as Eliezer signifies the help of God.(Challoner)
(g)2:25
Knew them: That is, he had respect to them, he cast a merciful eye upon them.(Challoner)
