Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

And of the ten horns ... - See the notes at Dan 7:7-8. Whose look was more stout than his fellows - literally, “whose aspect was greater than that of its companions.” This does not mean that its look or aspect was more fierce or severe than that of the others, but that the appearance of the horn was greater - רב rab. In Dan 7:8, this is described as a “little horn;” and to understand this, and reconcile the two, we must suppose that the seer watched this as it grew until it became the largest of the number.
