Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
UMBREIT understands it of the Bedouin robbers, who are quite regardless of the comforts of life, "They pass the night naked, and uncovered," &c. But the allusion to Job 22:6, makes the English Version preferable (see on Job 24:10). Frost is not uncommon at night in those regions (Gen 31:40). |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
They cause the naked to lodge without clothing - They strip others of their clothing, and leave them destitute.
That they have no covering in the cold - All travelers tell us, that though the day is intensely hot in the deserts of Arabia, yet the nights are often intensely cold. Hence, the sufferings of those who are plundered, and who have nothing to defend themselves from the cold air of the night. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Naked - Those whom they stripped of their garments and coverings. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
They cause the naked to lodge without clothing - Or rather, They spend the night naked, without clothing; and without a covering from the cold: another characteristic of the wandering Arabs. They are ill-fed, ill-clothed. and often miserable off, even for tents. They can have little household stuff: as they are plunderers, they are often obliged to fly for their lives, and cannot encumber themselves with what is not absolutely needful. |
40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
6 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
