On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

(1.) Jacob is humble, and needs it not for state; he desires not to make a fair show in the flesh, by encumbering himself with a needless retinue. Note, It is the vanity of pomp and grandeur that they are attended with a great deal of which it may be said, What needeth it?

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

He is under the Divine protection. Those are sufficiently guarded that have God for their guard, and are under a convoy of his hosts, as Jacob was. Jacob adds, only let me find grace in the sight of my Lord - Having thy favour I have all I need, all I desire from thee.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
