On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

A recital of the names of the twelve patriarchs, as they are called, Acts vii. Their names are often repeated in scripture, that they may not sound uncouth to us, as other hard names, but that, by their occurring so frequently, they may become familiar to us; and to show how precious God's spiritual Israel are to him, and how much he delights in them.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Note, Religion and piety are good friends to outward prosperity: the fear of God in a house will help to build it up and establish it. Dr. Lightfoot's notion of it is, That, for their piety, they were married to Israelites, and Hebrew families were built up by them.
