7 And when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, because of Midian. 8 The Lord sent unto the children of Israel a Prophet, who said unto them: Thus saith the Lord god of Israel, I have brought you out of Egypt, I have brought you (I say) out of the house of bondage. 9 And I have delivered you out of the hands of the Egyptians, & out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and have cast them out before you, and given you their land.
7 And when the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lorde, bycause of Midian. 8 The Lord sent vnto the children of Israel a Prophet, who sayd vnto them: Thus saith the Lord god of Israel, I haue brought you out of Egipt, I haue brought you (I sai) out of the house of bōdage. 9 And I haue deliuered you out of the handes of the Egiptians, & out of the hand of al that oppressed you, and haue cast them oute before you, and geuen you their land.
The manner whereby the Israelites were stirred up to call upon God, is in this place set forth. They were turned unto God by the impulsion of faith, which was stirred up by the preaching of the word of God: for he had sent unto them a man which was a Prophet, not legions of Angels, not a multitude of soldiers, not armour, neither warlike engines. He directed unto them a Preacher & Minister of the word of God. And this ought not to seem absurd, if this verb Vaiischlah be interpretated in the signification of the preterpluperfect tense, for as much as it is a thing very much used in the holy scriptures. And yet I deny ⟨image 120⟩not, that this place may be understand an other way: namely that the Israelites in deed cried first, but yet with a certain violence stirred up by troubles and miseries, which violence by it self, could not be allowed of God, nether had it obtained any thing at his hands, except it had been adorned with a true faith & perfect repentance: for the bringing to pass whereof, God not forgetting his mercy, sent them a Prophet or Preacher meet thereunto. Howbeit the first sense, which consisteth all the preterpluperfectnes, pleaseth me very well: although I deny not but that both ways may be admitted. Farther, some think that these things are to be understand by Synecdoche, so that it is meant that not one prophet, but very many prophets were sent of God. But I judge that it is written of some one certain prophet, which was of great authority among the Hebrews. And I am not ignorant that some think this prophet to have ben an Angel: which I allow not, forasmuch as he is called both a man and a prophet. And I find in no place of the holy scriptures the Angels were called prophets: although on the contrary we read in them sometimes that a prophet was called an Angel,
