Moses
Exodus 6:22ESV·traditional attribution

The sons of Uzziel: Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian

This genealogy ends in Moses and Aaron to prove they were true Israelites, bone of their bone, raised up from among their own people, just as Christ would be. God's favours do not follow the order of birth; He often prefers the younger before the elder, crossing hands according to His sovereign will, not man's expectation.

John Gill Reformed Baptist

Moses says nothing of his own children, only Aaron's, partly from humility, but chiefly because the priesthood descended through Aaron's line while the civil office did not through Moses'. His aim was to show clearly, for all future generations, who these instruments of Israel's deliverance truly were.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Reformed

This genealogy authenticates the descent of Moses and Aaron at the moment they are about to act so crucially in Egypt and take up the highest offices in God's government and Church. It was essential their lineage be traced with absolute certainty.
