I would appreciate any links to on-line commentaries on the Book of Exodus. I am familiar with Haydock’s but are there any other Catholic commentaries or early Church commentaries available on-line?

Nowadays, a good commentary involves a lot of intellectual property and hard work, like translating the early church fathers. I’m building a set of just that, commentaries of the works of early church fathers on all the books of the Bible. They’re $29 a book, and I’m up to about 22 volumes, so far. (I’ve read most of them, also). That involves a LOT of translation from Greek and Latin, as well as a lot of editing to synchronize the line-by-line commentaries.
The Jewish Publication Society Commentary on Exodus runs around $75, which I bought at the time, at 40% discount. Comedian Steven Black (who is apparently Jewish) made a joke about how Christians get the Bible “all wrong.” He says we’ll tell you what it really means, but it’ll cost yah. He wasn’t kidding.
Dr. Tim Gray did a series on EWTN on the books of Exodus. It was really great. I think it’s available on the EWTN website or perhaps at the Augustine Institute where he is a scholar. price?
The Jewish Study Bible from Oxford Press is less than $30, which is a Jewish commentary on the Hebrew Bible.
Evidently cost is a factor to you (as it is to us all). Do you need the whole thing? or, is there something specific you’re interested in?
I think the Protestant Matthew Henry commentary is online, if you wanted to look at that.
That was written in the 18th Century.
Depending on where you live, your local public library may have a set of commentaries, like the Anchor Bible series, which is authored by various Catholic and non-Catholic scholars.
you might try googling on a verse from Exodus such as “commentary on Exodus Chapter One” and see what you get.
