I’ve just wrapped up a sermon series covering Exodus 1–15. During my study I found the following commentaries the most helpful.
Durham, John I. Exodus. Vol. 3. Word Biblical Commentary. Dallas: Word, Incorporated, 1987. — Like other volumes in the Word Commentary series, Durham’s work on Exodus offers technical discussion of the Hebrew text, including addressing relevant source-critical questions. (While Durham engages in discussion of redactors and JEDPH, he takes a largely canonical approach to the text). I found his comments and summaries to get to the heart of the text, especially as it functioned in the life of Israel.
Pink, Arthur W. Gleanings in Exodus. Chicago: Moody Press, 1979. — Pink shines in his ability to draw out the theological and Christological implications of a given passage. For example, in his discussion of Exodus 7, “A Hardened Heart,” he notes three reasons why God allows suffering: “for the complete testing of human responsibility, the trying of the saints’ faith, and the manifestation of all the perfections and attributes of Deity” (53).
