ExplanationCommentary
Verse 24. Exceedingly. In 215 years, 600,000 warriors sprung from seventy people, ( Calmet.) or from seventy-five, as Septuagint and S. Stephen read, comprising eight wives, Jacob, and sixty-six of his descendants. Seventy might naturally produce two million and a half in such a space of time. But the Hebrews had been cruelly oppressed. God’s blessing enabled them to increase as they did. Bert.
