Thus you see the Israelites looked upon Moses, God sent him to be their deliverer, but when their task of brick was doubled, when their burdens were increased, Moses then appears to them as a ghost, as a destroyer, rather than a deliverer. 1Such false apprehensions they had of him. You may read their own expression in the 5. Exodus 19, 20, 21. And the Officers of the Children of Israel did see themselves that they were in an evil case, and they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way as they came forth from Pharaoh; and they said unto them, The Lord look upon you, and judge, because you have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us. Here they looked upon their deliverers, as their destroyers.
