Notes, Critical and Explanatory, on the Holy Scriptures

Matt. 26 : 11. Poor are found even in the most prosperous states. V. adds : " Habitation^ turn." a The obligation to relieve the poor is of strict precept, although it is difficult to determine the quantity and the circumstances. u H. P. " Unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land." Three classes of sufferers are designated ; or rather the same Individual is presented under three distinct aspects, as a kinsman, an afflicted man, and a distressed man. V. adds : " Qul versatur tecum."

P. " He hath been worth a double hired servant to thee." L. "For double the wages of a hired laborer he hath served thee."
