Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Covered wagons - Some prefer to render "litter Isa 66:20 wagons:" i. e. litters which were not on wheels, but borne by two oxen, one in front and one behind. Such conveyances would probably be more convenient than wheeled wagons in the rough country to be traversed. |
| The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
they brought
It is beautiful to observe that, though the offerings of the princes were identical, each is separately recorded by the pen of inspiration.

| Waggons - For the more convenient and safe carriage of such things as were most cumbersome. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Six covered wagons - שש עגלת צב shesh egloth tsab, six tilted wagons, the Septuagint translate ἑξ ἁμαξας λαμπηνικας, with which the Coptic agrees; but what lampenic chariots were, no person pretends to know. Covered or tilted is probably the meaning of the original. The wagons were given for the more convenient exporting of the heavier parts of the tabernacle, which could not be conveniently carried on men's shoulders. |

42 And [2532] there came [2064] a certain [3391] poor [4434] widow [5503], and she threw in [906] two [1417] mites [3016], which make [3603] a farthing [2835].
