| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
I will prepare thee unto blood--I will expose thee to slaughter.
sith--old English for "seeing that" or "since."
thou hast not hated blood--The Hebrew order is, "thou hast hated not blood"; that is, thou couldst not bear to live without bloodshed [GROTIUS]. There is a play on similar sounds in the Hebrew; Edom resembling dam, the Hebrew for "blood"; as "Edom" means "red," the transition to "blood" is easy. Edom, akin to blood in name, so also in nature and acts; "blood therefore shall pursue thee." The measure which Edom meted to others should be meted to himself (Psa 109:17; Mat 7:2; Mat 26:52). |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| And blood - Thy guilt, and my just revenge of innocent blood. Hast not hated - Thou hast loved, rather than hated, blood - shed; therefore vengeance for it follows thee. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Blood shall pursue thee - Thou lovest blood, and thou shalt have blood. It is said that Cyrus and two hundred thousand men were slain in an ambush by Thomyris, queen of the Scythians, and that she cut ok his head, and threw it into a vessel filled with blood, with this severe sarcasm: -
Satia te sanguine quem sitisti, Cyre.
"O Cyrus, now satisfy thyself with blood."
Hence, the figure: -
"Sarcasmus, with this biting taunt doth kill:
Cyrus, thy thirst was blood, now drink thy fill." |
52 Then [5119] said [3004] Jesus [2424] unto him [846], Put up again [654] thy [4675] sword [3162] into [1519] his [846] place [5117]: for [1063] all they [3956] that take [2983] the sword [3162] shall perish [622] with [1722] the sword [3162].
2 For [1722] with [3739] what [1063] judgment [2917] ye judge [2919], ye shall be judged [2919]: and [2532] with [1722] what [3739] measure [3358] ye mete [3354], it shall be measured [488] to you [5213] again [488].
17 As he loved [0157] cursing [07045], so let it come [0935] unto him: as he delighted [02654] not in blessing [01293], so let it be far [07368] from him.
