ExplanationCommentary
Verse 16. Tore. Hebrew seems to be corrupted in this place. “And he shewed (instructed or chastised) with these thorns.” The Septuagint and Vulg. read the same word as verse 7. He crushed the people with such instruments as are used to beat out corn. It is probable that he only treated the magistrates of Soccoth and of Phanuel in this manner. Calmet.
