ExplanationCommentary
Verse 8. Company. Hebrew “mare.” Such were preferred, as more gentle and swift. Pharao had probably made his son-in-law a present of a magnificent chariot. Theocritus (xviii.) compares the beauty of Helena to a Thessalian horse in a chariot, so that this idea is not low. Genesis 44:14. Os. 10:11. Calmet.—Horsemen. Prot. “horses.” Bible.—Hebrew susa. Septuagint η ιππος means also “cavalry,” as well as a mare. The Church has nothing to fear. Menochius.
