Commentary on Exodus 23:42 voices
If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
If thou meet thine enemys ox - going astray - From the humane and heavenly maxim in this and the following verse, our blessed Lord has formed the following precept: Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you; Mat 5:44. A precept so plain, wise, benevolent, and useful, can receive no other comment than that which its influence on the heart of a kind and merciful man produces in his life.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Deuteronomy 22:1–3
If you see your brother’s ox or sheep straying, you must not ignore it; be sure to return it to your brother.
Commentary on Deuteronomy 22:1–32 voices
Thou shall not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Thou shalt not see thy brothers ox or his sheep go astray - The same humane, merciful, and wise regulations which we met with before, Exo 23:4, Exo 23:5, well calculated to keep in remembrance the second grand branch of the law of God, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. A humane man cannot bear to see even an ass fall under his burden, and not endeavor to relieve him; and a man who loves his neighbor as himself cannot see his property in danger without endeavoring to preserve it.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- 1 Samuel 9:1
Now there was a Benjamite, a powerful man, whose name was Kish son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah of Benjamin.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 9:12 voices
The name Benjamin is a combination, then, of two words, son and right hand: ben means "son" and jamin means "right hand."Let us remember once for all that the tribe of Benjamin was called Jemini.
Jerome· HOMILIES ON THE PSALMS 3 (PS 7), 420Patristic
Now there was a man of Benjamin,....
