Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Special notice is taken of this, though a thing of course, to intimate that the children of the promise are growing children. Those that are born of God shall increase of God, Col. ii.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

the child grew, and was weaned--children are suckled longer in the East than in the Occident--boys usually for two or three years. Abraham made a great feast, &c.--In Eastern countries this is always a season of domestic festivity, and the newly weaned child is formally brought, in presence of the assembled relatives and friends, to partake of some simple viands.
