Ecclesiastes 3:15 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

That which hath been is now Things past, present, and to come, are all ordered by one constant counsel, in all parts and ages of the world. There is a continual return of the same motions of the heavenly bodies, of the same seasons of the year, and a constant succession of new generations of men and beasts, but all of the same quality. God requireth Or reneweth, as the Hebrew יבקשׁ, may be rendered; that which is past That time and those things which are irrecoverably gone in themselves; but are, as it were, recalled, because others of the same kind arise and come in their stead.
