All Commentaries on Psalms 105:12 Go To Psalms 105
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Very few. Hebrew, "as it were reduced to nothing "to avoid a tautology. (Berthier)
But this version is not necessary. (Haydock)
Jacob at this time was not married, (Berthier) and his parents had no part of the land. This manifests the power of God, and the faith of the patriarchs, (Calmet) who doubted not but that he would realize what he had promises. (Haydock)
