Commentaries on Exodus 7:7
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7Moses was fourscore years old - He was forty years old when he went to Midian, and he had tarried forty years in Midian; (see Exodus 2:11, and Acts 7:30;); and from this verse it appears that Aaron was three years older than Moses. We have already seen that Miriam their sister was older than either, Exodus 2:4.Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 7Although 80 years might seem old to us, it was not especially old in Moses and Aaron’s family line. Their ancestors often lived between 130 and 140 years (see 6:16, 18, 20).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 77. Moses was fourscore years old--This advanced age was a pledge that they had not been readily betrayed into a rash or hazardous enterprise, and that under its attendant infirmities they could not have carried through the work on which they were entering had they not been supported by a divine hand.Read the comment
