A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
shake . . . hand--A mere wave of God's hand can prostrate all foes (compare Rut 1:13; Job 31:21; Isa 11:15; Isa 19:16; Act 13:11).

sent me-- (Isa 48:16; Isa 61:1; Joh 10:36).
