"The plain and disinterested manner," says Dr. Dodd, "in which Moses speaks here of his relations, and the impartiality wherewith he inserts in the list of them such as were afterwards severely punished by the Lord, are striking proofs of his modesty and sincerity. He inserts the genealogy of Reuben and Simeon, because they were of the same mother with Levi; and though he says nothing of himself, yet he relates particularly what concerns Aaron, Ex 6:23, who married into an honourable family, the sister of a prince of the tribe of Judah."

This emphatic repetition shows the reason for inserting the genealogy. The names of Moses and Aaron are given twice and in a different order; used in Exo 6:26 probably to mark Aaron as the older in the genealogy, and used in Exo 6:27 to denote the leadership of Moses.

according to their hosts] The expression hosts (i.e. armies: 2Sa_2:8, &c.), of the Israelites at the Exodus, is peculiar to P (Exo_7:4, Exo_12:7, SD 41, 51, Num_1:3; Num_2:3-4; Num_2:6, &c., Exo_9:10; Exo_9:16, &c., Exo_10:14-16, &c., Exo_33:1): as Dillm. remarks, it is part of the picture that he had formed of Israel at the Exodus, as marching out and journeying through the wilderness in battle array (cf. Numbers 1, 2, 10).

(26) Their armies.—This expression is here used of the Israelites for the first time. It seems to refer to that organisation, of a quasi-military character, which was given to the people by the order of Moses during the long struggle with Pharaoh, and which enabled them at last to quit Egypt, not a disorderly mob, but “harnessed,” or “in military array” (Exo_13:18). The expression is repeated in Exo_7:4; Exo_12:17; Exo_12:51.

Vers. 26, 27. The genealogy being concluded as a separate document, its author appends a notice that the Aaron and Moses mentioned in it (ver. 20) are the very Aaron and Moses who received the Divine command to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt, and who appeared before Pharaoh, and "spoke to him" on their behalf. As the heading of the document was kept upon its insertion into the narrative of the Exodus (see the comment on ver. 13), so its concluding sentences were kept, though (according to modem ideas) superfluous.
According to their armies. The term "armies" had not been previously used of the Israelitish people; but it occurs in Exo_7:4, which was probably in the mind of the writer who drew up the genealogy
