Verse 4. As lambs. This comparison is very common. Isaiah 40:11. Ezekiel 34:2. But many translate the Hebrew “in Telaim.” S. Jerom reads Hebrew c, as, instead of b, in, with greater propriety. Septuagint and Josephus, “in Galgal,” which in effect would have been the most proper place for rendezvous. Calmet.—Footmen. Vat. Septuagint “400,000 ranks or standards, (Josephus, men) and Juda 30,000.”
