Jerome

Commentary on Jeremiah (420)

(Verse 11) For the Lord has redeemed Jacob and delivered him from the hand of the stronger (or the hand of the more powerful). Because the Lord has redeemed Jacob with the price of His own blood and has liberated him from the hand of the more powerful or stronger one. By these things are shown the stronger opposing powers of the nature of human frailty.

Though the enemy that had got possession of him was stronger than he, yet the Lord, who is stronger than all. has redeemed and ransomed him, not by price, but by power, as of old out of the Egyptians' hands.
