Verse 27. Man. The Rabbins say, without proof, that he was Gersom, the son of Moses, and that the two prophets were half-brothers of the lawgiver, and foretold his death and the persecutions of Gog, and so forth Calmet.—Hermas (11. 2.) refers to some of their predictions: “The Lord is nigh to those who are converts.” See Psalms 33:19. Bible.—But they prophesied probably, by announcing only, as men inspired, the praises of God and sentiments of piety, without diving into futurity. Calmet.—Theodoret (q. 21) thinks they were not of the 70 judges, but equal in dignity to them. Cotelier.
