Context of Exodus 19:4
2For they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mount. 3And Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself. 5Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a special treasure to me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6And ye shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak to the children of Israel.

Commentaries on Exodus 19:4
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 4How I bare you on eagles' wings - Mr. Bruce contends that the word נשר nesher does not mean the bird we term eagle; but a bird which the Arabs, from its kind and merciful disposition, call rachama, which is noted for its care of its young, and its carrying them upon its back. See his Travels, vol. vii., pl. 33. It is not unlikely that from this part of the sacred history the heathens borrowed their fable of the eagle being a bird sacred to Jupiter, and…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 4On eagles‘ wings - Both in the law Deuteronomy 32:11 and in the Gospel Matthew 23:37, the Church is compared to fledgelings which the mother cherishes and protects under her wings: but in the law that mother is an eagle, in the Gospels “a hen”; thus shadowing forth the diversity of administration under each covenant: the one of power, which God manifested when He brought His people out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and led them into…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-9God prepared his people to receive the covenant by first reminding them of the past and of what they had learned about him (19:4).

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3-63-6. Moses went up unto God--the Shekinah--within the cloud (Ex 33:20; Joh 1:18). Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, &c.--The object for which Moses went up was to receive and convey to the people the message contained in these verses, and the purport of which was a general announcement of the terms on which God was to take the Israelites into a close and peculiar relation to Himself. In thus negotiating between God and His people, the highest…Read the comment
