Praise for the Print Edition
The analysis and explanation of the historical as well as legal portions will generally be found both clear and satisfactory; and although the work emanates from a scholar who uses freely his knowledge of Hebrew, it is manifest that all readers of ordinary intelligence may use it without difficulty.
—The Journal of Sacred Literature and Biblical Record
Dr. Murphy combines a scientific education with a philological tact. We trust that his commentaries will have a wide circulation among our clergy.
—Bibliotheca Sacra
It is thoroughly orthodox, and finds everywhere in the old dispensation types and shadows of the higher revelation which was yet to come.
—The Religious Magazine and Monthly Review
Thus far nothing has appeared for half a century on the Pentateuch so valuable as the present volume (on Exodus). His style is lucid, animated, and often eloquent. His pages afford golden suggestions and key thoughts.
