Gill's Notes on the Bible
And thou shall say unto Pharaoh,.... When arrived in Egypt, and in his presence:
thus saith the Lord; he was to declare to him that he came in his name, and by his orders, and, as an ambassador of his, required the dismission of the children of Israel out of Egypt:
Israel [is] my son, [even] my firstborn; as dear to him as a man's firstborn is, or as his only son: adoption is one of the privileges peculiar to Israel after the flesh, even national adoption, with all the external privileges appertaining to it, Romans 9:4.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
My firstborn - The expression would be perfectly intelligible to Pharaoh, whose official designation was “son of Ra.” In numberless inscriptions the Pharaohs are styled “own sons” or “beloved sons” of the deity. It is here applied for the first time to Israel; and as we learn from Exodus 4:23, emphatically in antithesis to Pharaoh’s own firstborn.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Exodus 4:22. Israel is my son, even my firstborn — That is, The Hebrew people are unutterably dear to me.
