thy cousin--"relative," but how near the word says not.
conceived, &c.--This was to Mary an unsought sign, in reward of her faith. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Thy cousin Elizabeth ... - The case of Elizabeth is mentioned to inspire Mary with confidence, and to assure her that what was now promised would be fulfilled. It was almost as improbable that Elizabeth should have a child at her time of life, as it was that Mary should under the circumstances promised. |
Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Cousin (συγγενής)
The nature of the relationship, however, is unknown. The word is a general term, meaning of the same family. The best texts substitute for it a feminine form, συγγενίς, which is condemned by the grammarians as unclassical, but rightly rendered by Rev., kinswoman. Wyc., cosyness, i.e., cousiness. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
And behold, thy cousin Elisabeth - Though Elisabeth was of the house of Aaron, and Mary of the house of David, by the fathers side, they might be related by their mothers. For the law only forbad heiresses marrying into another tribe. And so other persons continually intermarried; particularly the families of David and of Levi. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Thy cousin Elisabeth - Thy kinswoman, συγγενης. As Elisabeth was of the tribe of Levi, Luk 1:5, and Mary of the tribe of Judah, they could not be relatives but by the mother's side.
She hath also conceived - And this is wrought by the same power and energy through which thou shalt conceive. Thus God has given thee a proof and pledge, in what he has done for Elisabeth, of what he will do for thyself; therefore, have faith in God.
Who was called barren - It is probable that Elisabeth got this appellative by way of reproach; or to distinguish her from some other Elisabeth also well known, who had been blessed with children. Perhaps this is the reproach which Elisabeth speaks of, Luk 1:25, her common name among men, among the people who knew her, being Elisabeth the barren. |
25 [3754] Thus [3779] hath [4160] the Lord [2962] dealt [4160] with me [3427] in [1722] the days [2250] wherein [3739] he looked on [1896] me, to take away [851] my [3450] reproach [3681] among [1722] men [444].
5 There was [1096] in [1722] the days [2250] of Herod [2264], the king [935] of Judaea [2449], a certain [5100] priest [2409] named [3686] Zacharias [2197], of [1537] the course [2183] of Abia [7]: and [2532] his [846] wife [1135] was of [1537] the daughters [2364] of Aaron [2], and [2532] her [846] name [3686] was Elisabeth [1665].
