- God saw:
-
- "The frequent repetition 'And Gad saw' (vv. 4, 10, 12 et al.) describes the 'seeing' activity of God, which the author wishes to emphasize about God (cf. the 'God who sees' in 16:13; see also 6:5; 11:5; 18:21). Here God sees that which is beneficial for the human race. He is the one who both knows what is 'good' for humankind and is intent on providing it." (John Sailhamer, The NIV Compact Bible Commentary, © 1994, Zondervan)
