ExplanationCommentary
Verse 2. Angry at the rash and apparently blasphemous demand of Rachel. Menochius.—As God, pro Deo. Am I to work a miracle in opposition to God, who has made thee barren? To him thou oughtest to address thyself. The Hebrews justly observe, that God has reserved to himself the four keys of nature: 1. Of generation; 2. Of sustenance, Psalms 144:16; 3. Of rain, Deuteronomy 28:12. And, 4. Of the grave or resurrection, Ez. 37:12. Tirinus.
