When the Scripture speaks of God, acting towards Man, either in a way of judgement or mercy, this phrase is often used, (Exod. 6.6.) Wherefore say to the Children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an out-stretched arm. (Exod. 14.8.) The Children of Israel went out with an high hand; and at the sixth Verse of the same Chapter, the Lord bid Moses, Stretch his hand over the Sea; to show that he was purposed to work a Miracle, for the deliverance of his people. The Prophets are frequent in this language (Isa. 5.25.) Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled, against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them: Read Chap. 9. Verse 12, 17.21. Chap. 10.4. Jer. 51.25. Ezek. 14.13. Chap. 15.7. In all these places when the Lord went with full purpose to punish, he is said, To stretch out his hand. Now as when God stretcheth out his hand against Man, it shows his resolvedness to smite, so when man stretcheth out his hand against God, it shows his resolvedness to sin, or his actual sinning with full intention and strength of spirit.
