Exodus 23:22

Exodus 23:22

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

If thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak. The change of persons in the latter clause—"all that I speak," instead of "all that he speaks"—implies the doctrine of the perienchoresis or circuminsessio, that God the Father is in the Son and the Spirit, as they are in him.

An adversary to thy adversaries. Rather "an affiictor of thy affiictors."
