Notes on the Whole Bible
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · 19th-century historical commentary

The word עד ‛êd is not found after “altar” in the text of most manuscripts, nor is it represented in the Septuagint or Vulgate. The passage should probably run: “the children of Reuben and the children of Gad named the altar, that (as they said) it might be, etc.” The title placed on the altar was perhaps simply a witness between them that the Lord was God (Wordsworth). return to 'Top of Page' Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain.
