Study Lenses

The verse centers on "cometh", "pass", "morning", "watch", "jehovah", "looketh", "camp", and "egyptians". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "cometh" and "pass", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 23's "And the Egyptians pursue and go in..." into verse 25's "and turneth aside the wheels of their...", so "cometh" and "pass" belong inside that flow. In Exodus context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "cometh" and "pass" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
