Verse 19. Gad, being girded, and so forth It seems to allude to the tribe of Gad; when, after they had received for their lot the land of Galaad, they marched in arms before the rest of the Israelites, to the conquest of the land of Chanaan: from whence they afterwards returned loaded with spoils. See Josue 1 and 22. Challoner.—He alludes continually to the name of Gad, which signifies one “girded, or a troop.” See Osee 6:8. Numbers 32:17. Calmet.
