Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Two things are promised him which we have met with often before:-- (1.) That he should be the father of a great nation, great in number-- a company of nations shall be of thee (every tribe of Israel was a nation, and all the twelve a company of nations), great in honour and power-- kings shall come out of thy loins.
