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

And he gave them into the hand of the heathen - That is, of foreign nations. They were indeed “pagans,” in the sense in which that term is used now - that is, they were ignorant of the true God, and worshipped idols; but that idea is not necessarily in the original word. The word “Gentiles” expresses all that the word implies. And they that hated them ruled over them - Had them in subjection. return to 'Top of Page'
