Bible Commentary

Exodus 19:1

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

In the third month. The month Sivan, corresponding nearly with our June. When the children of Israel were gone forth. Rather, "after the children of Israel had gone forth," or "after the departure of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt."

Compare Exodus 16:1, where the expression used is the same. The same day. Literally, "on that day"—which can only mean "on the day that the month began"—on the 1st of Sivan. The wilderness of Sinai. The plain Er-Rahah; as is now generally allowed, since the true character of the Wady Sebaiyeh has been shown by Dean Stanley and others.
