Anglican bishop Patrick Simon’s commentary on Exodus is a classic resource for studying the second book of the Pentateuch. Simon, best known for his contribution to A Critical Commentary and Paraphrase on the Old and New Testament and the Apocrypha, provides ample commentary on each verse. The volume covers all 40 chapters of Exodus and is valuable as an expression of English commentary at the height of British empiricism.

Patrick Simon (1626–1707) was an English theologian and the bishop of Chichester (1689–1891) and Ely (1691–1707). He remained rector at St. Paul’s, Covent Garden in London during the Great Plague (1665–1666). He published numerous sermons and devotional pieces, and his Old Testament commentaries were incorporated into A Critical Commentary and Paraphrase on the Old and New Testament and the Apocrypha with the work of William Lowth, Moses Lowman, Richard Arnald, and Daniel Whitby.

In the sequel to his work on Genesis, James Davies aims to “smooth the way to the study of what is confessedly one of the most difficult books in the Bible.” Davies offers the collation of his extensive research, providing a helpful companion to the book of Exodus. His work provides a solid foundation for studying Exodus and other Mosaic literature.

J. Davies was a faculty member at the University of London. He wrote several local examination manuals for books of the Bible, as well as for the Book of Common Prayer and other liturgical texts.

The Exodus

• Editor: Richard G. Moulton
• Series: The Modern Bible Reader’s Bible: History Series

In this unique resource, Richard G. Moulton takes the Revised Version of the Bible and formats it as a modern narrative piece, without verses or traditional chapter breaks. Moulton seeks to replicate the reading experience the earliest readers of the Hebrew text would have had. His formatting aims to bring out the unique literary qualities of Exodus as the narrative of Israel’s earliest constitutional history.

The effect of these changes back to the original forms under which the sacred writings first appeared will be, for the vast majority of readers, a surprise and delight; they will feel as if they had come upon new spiritual and intellectual treasures, and they will appreciate for the first time how much the Bible has suffered from the hands of those who have treated it without reference to its literary quality.

—Outlook

Unquestionably here is a task worth carrying out; and it is to be said at once that Dr. Moulton has carried it out with great skill and helpfulness. Both the introduction and the notes are distinct contributions to the better understanding and higher appreciation of the literary character, features, and beauties of the biblical books treated.

—Presbyterian and Reformed Review

Richard G. Moulton (1849–1924) was an English professor, lawyer, and author. He is also the author of Shakespeare as a Dramatic Artist, The Ancient Classical Drama, The Literary Study of the Bible, and The Bible at a Single View.
