And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell over against all his brethren.
All Commentaries on Genesis 16:12 Go To Genesis 16
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Wild. Hebrew: like a wild ass, not to be tamed or subdued. The Saracens or Arabs, have almost all along maintained their independence.
Over against, ready to fight, without any dread of any one. (Calmet)
