The Hebrew word for "month" is "chodesh," which also means "new moon," indicating the beginning of a new phase or cycle. This timing is crucial as it signifies a period of preparation and anticipation for the Israelites. Historically, the third month, known as Sivan, is when the Israelites would receive the Torah, marking a pivotal moment in their covenant relationship with God. This period is a reminder of God's perfect timing and His orchestration of events in the lives of His people.<p><b>after the Israelites had gone out of the land of Egypt</b><br />This phrase emphasizes the deliverance of the Israelites from slavery, a foundational event in their history. The Hebrew term for "gone out" is "yatsa," which conveys the idea of departure and liberation. This exodus from Egypt is not just a physical journey but a spiritual transformation from bondage to freedom. It serves as a powerful symbol of God's redemptive power and His faithfulness to fulfill His promises. The land of Egypt, often associated with oppression and idolatry, contrasts with the freedom and covenant relationship that God offers His people.<p><b>on that very day</b><br />The specificity of "on that very day" underscores the precision and intentionality of God's plan. The Hebrew phrase "beyom hazeh" indicates a particular day of significance, suggesting that this was a divinely appointed time. This highlights the importance of divine timing in the unfolding of God's purposes. It serves as a reminder that God is sovereign over time and history, orchestrating events according to His perfect will.<p><b>they came to the Wilderness of Sinai</b><br />The "Wilderness of Sinai" is a place of both physical and spiritual significance. The Hebrew word for "wilderness" is "midbar," which can also mean "desert" or "pasture." It is a place of testing, revelation, and encounter with God. Historically, Sinai is where Moses first encountered God in the burning bush, and it is here that the Israelites will receive the Law. The wilderness represents a place of dependence on God, where the Israelites are stripped of their reliance on Egypt and learn to trust in God's provision and guidance. Sinai becomes a sacred space where God reveals His covenant and establishes His people as a nation set apart for His purposes.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/19.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 1.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">In the third</span> <span class="cmt_word">month.</span> The month Sivan, corresponding nearly with our June. <span class="cmt_word">When the children of Israel were gone forth.</span> Rather, "after the children of Israel had gone forth," or "after the departure of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt."
