The smooth stones, shaped as idols, are the gods chosen by thee as thy portion (Psa 16:5). meat offering--not a bloody sacrifice, but one of meal and flour mingled with oil. "Meat" in Old English meant food, not flesh, as it means now (Lev 14:10). Should I receive comfort--rather, "Shall I bear these things with patience?" [HORSLEY].
