- * A.M. 2256. B.C. 1748. mandrakes.
- The mandrake may be the Hebrew {dudaim:} it is so rendered by
- all the ancient versions, and is a species of melon, of an
- agreeable odour. Hasselquist, speaking of Nazareth in
- Galilee, says, "What I found most remarkable at this village
- was the great number of mandrakes which grew in a vale below
- it. I had not the pleasure of seeing this plant in blossom,
- the fruit now (May 5th, O. S.) hanging ripe on the stem, which
- lay withered on the ground. From the season in which this
- mandrake blossoms and ripens fruit, one might form a
- conjecture that it was Rachel's {dudaim.} These were brought
- her in the wheat harvest, which in Galilee is in the month of
- May, about this time, and the mandrake was now in fruit." The
- Abbee Mariti describes it as growing "low like a lettuce, to
- which its leaves have a great resemblance, except that they
- have a dark green colour. The flowers are purple, and the
- root is for the most part forked. The fruit, when ripe in the
- beginning of May, is of the size and colour of a small apple,
- exceedingly ruddy, and of a most agreeable odour. Our guide
- thought us fools for suspecting it to be unwholesome."

- "Be fruitful and multiply," was the blessing of God:
- barrenness therefore was reckoned a reproach. The intense
- desire of having children, observable among the Jewish women,
- arose not only from this reproach of barrenness, but from the
- hope of being the mother of the promised seed, and Him in whom
- all the nations of the earth were to be blessed.

- * he removed.
- From this it appears, that, as Jacob had agreed to take all
- the parti-coloured for his wages, and was now only beginning
- to act upon this agreement, and consequently had as yet no
- right to any of the cattle, therefore Laban separated from the
- flock all such cattle as Jacob might afterwards claim in
- consequence of his bargain, leaving only the black and white
- with Jacob.

- {Livneh} is the white poplar, so called from the whiteness of
- its leaves, bark, and wood, from {lavan} to be white.
-
- * hasel.
- Jerome, Hiller, Celsius, Dr. Shaw, Bochart, and other learned
- men, say, that {luz} is not the "hazel" but the almond-tree,
- as the word denotes both in Arabic and Syriac.
-
- * chestnut tree.
- The Heb. word {armon,} signifies "the plane-tree," so called
- from the bark naturally peeling off, and leaving the trunk
- naked, as its root {aram,} signifies.

- As the means which Jacob used would not in general produce
- similar effects, nay, probably the experiment was never in any
- other instance tried with effect, it is more in harmony with
- Divine truth to suppose that he was directed by some Divine
- intimation; and rendered successful, if not by a direct
- miracle, yet at least by the Lord's giving a new and uncommon
- bias to the tendency of natural causes.

- # Eze 16:44 Tit 3:3
- * glory.
- "Glory" is here used for "wealth," riches, or property; since
- those who possess riches, generally make them the subject of
- glory. The original word cavod, signifies both "glory" and
- "weight."

- * ten times.
- The Hebrew, {asereth monim,} is literally, as Aquila renders,
- "ten numbers;" and Symmachus, "ten times in number;" which
- probably implies an indefinite number: see ver. 41.

- The original word, {beroodim,} from {barad,} "hail" means
- marked with white spots like hail; to which our word grisled,
- from the old french {gresle,} now {grele,} hail, perfectly
- agrees; hence {gresle,} spotted with white on a dark ground.
