Komentaryo sa Exodo 6:2: Rashi, Ramban, Rashbam & Sforno

וידבר אלהים אל משה AND GOD SPOKE UNTO MOSES — He took him to task because he had spoken so censoriously when he said, (Exodus 5:22) “Wherefore hast thou done so evil to this people”.

AND G-D SPOKE UNTO MOSES. Rashi explains that He spoke to him harshly¹Rashi’s interpretation is based either on the name Elokim (G-d) mentioned here, which signifies the Divine attribute of justice (Mizrachi), or on the two words Va’yedabeir Elokim (And G-d spoke), whereas the usual expression in the Torah is Va’yedabeir Hashem (And the Eternal spoke) (Gur Aryeh). because he had been critical when he said, Wherefore hast Thou dealt ill with this people?²Above, 5:22. AND HE SAID UNTO HIM: “I AM THE ETERNAL, Who am faithful to recompense reward to those who walk before Me wholeheartedly.”³“Whole-heartedly.” This word is not found in our printed texts of Rashi. But see Genesis 17:1 and 25:27 where it is found in connection with Abraham and Jacob respectively. See also Rashi, ibid., 26:2, where a similar expression is mentioned in connection with Isaac. All three patriarchs were thus whole-hearted in their worship of G-d. In this sense we find the phrase explained in many places, etc.
