Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament (1765)

Just double to what they were, chap. i, 3. This is a remarkable instance of the extent of the Divine providence, to things that seem minute as this, the exact number of a man's cattle; as also of the harmony of providence, and the reference of one event to another: for known unto God are all his works, from the beginning to the end.

Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Of a wicked man it is said, His last state is worse than his first ( Luke xi. 26 ), but of the upright man, His end is peace; and sometimes the nearer it is the clearer are the views of it.

Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
