- The author of the "History of the Piratical States of Barbary"
- observes, (p. 44,) that the Moors of that country are divided
- into tribes like the Arabians, and like them dwell in tents,
- formed into itinerant villages; that "these wanderers farm
- lands of the inhabitants of the towns, sow and cultivate them,
- paying their rent with the produce, such as fruits, corn, wax,
- etc. They are very skilful in choosing the most advantageous
- soils for every season, and very careful to avoid the Turkish
- troops, the violence of the one little suiting the simplicity
- of the other." It is natural to suppose, that Isaac possessed
- the like sagacity, when he sowed in the land of Gerar, and
- received that year an hundred-fold.
-
- * received. Heb. found. an hundredfold.

- # 3,29 24:1,35 30:30 Job 42:12

- * And the man waxed great.
- Dr. Adam Clarke remarks, that there is a strange and
- observable occurrence of the same term in the original, which
- is literally, "And the man was GREAT, and he went, going on,
- and was GREAT, until that he was exceeding GREAT." How simple
- is this language, and yet how forcible!
-
- * waxed great.
- # 24:35 Ps 112:3
- * went forward. Heb. went going.
- 08664
- * had possession.

- * had stopped.
- In those countries, a well of water was a great acquisition;
- and hence, this mode of injuring new settlers, or revenging
- themselves on their enemies, is still resorted to among the
- inhabitants.
- 08666
- * Go.
- Dr. A. Clarke observes, that this is the first instance on
- record of what was termed among the Greeks, ostracism, i.e.,
- the banishment of person from the state, of whose power,
- influence, or riches, the people were jealous.

- * in the days.
- Houbigant contends, that instead of {bimey,} "in the days," we
- should read, {avdey,} "servants;" agreeably to the Samaritan,
- Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate: "And Isaac digged again the
- wells of water which the servants of Abraham his father had
- digged."
-

- The wells in Arabia are generally dug in the rock: their
- mouths are about six feet in diameter, and they are from
- nineteen to twenty feet in depth. But Niebuhr informs us,
- that many wells are from 160 to 170 feet deep.

- # 20:3 21:22-32

- Phichol, as well as Abimelech, "father king," seems to have
- been a name of office or dignity among the Philistines; for it
- is not probable that they were the same as are mentioned in
- the days of Abraham (ch. 21:22, 32.)

- * Beer-sheba. i.e., the well of the oath.
- # 28
- This may have been the same city which was called Beer-sheba a
- hundred years before this, in the time of Abraham; but as the
- well, from which it had its name originally, was closed up by
- the Philistines, the name of the place might have been
- abolished with the well; when, therefore, Isaac re-opened it,
- he restored the ancient name of the place.

- The blessing, says Dr. A. Clarke, which Isaac was to confer on
- his son, was a species of divine right, and must be
- communicated with appropriate ceremonies. As eating and
- drinking were used among the Asiatics on almost all religious
- occasions, and especially in making and confirming covenants,
- it is reasonable to suppose, that something of this kind was
- essentially necessary on this occasion; and that Isaac could
- not convey the right, till he had eaten of the meat provided
- for the purpose by him who was to receive the blessing.
