EXPLANATION

Verse 9. Children. Anna and Elizabeth, who were naturally barren, were blessed with what they so eagerly desired, by the divine power. Bible.—It may be understood of the Gentile world, after it had embraced the faith, (Saint Jerome Galatians 4:17. Saint John Chrysostom) or of the captives, (Isaiah 56:1 and 49:21. Psalms 67:7. Calmet.) though Isaias may also refer to the Church. Bible.—Joseph was wonderfully advanced in glory, and Sara, Rebecca, and so forth were made fruitful.
