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] |
Harness the horses--namely, to the war chariots, for which Egypt was famed (Exo 14:7; Exo 15:4).
get up, ye horsemen--get up into the chariots. MAURER, because of the parallel "horses," translates, "Mount the steeds." But it is rather describing the successive steps in equipping the war chariots; first harness the horses to them, then let the horsemen mount them.
brigandines--cuirasses, or coats of mail. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
From the infantry the prophet proceeds to the chariots, in which the Egyptians placed great confidence.
Get up, ye horsemen - Or, "mount the steeds."
Furbish - i. e., polish, sharpen.
Brigandines - In old times brigand meant a soldier, and we still call a division of an army a brigade, and a commander a brigadier, i. e., a brigandier, or captain of brigands. Similarly a brigandine means a soldier's equipment, and is put here for a coat of mail. |
