Bible Comments

A man's gift maketh room for him Procures him free access to great men. Hebrew, ירחיב לו, enlargeth him, as this very phrase is rendered Psalms 4:1, and elsewhere; freeth him from straits and oppressions; and bringeth him before great men Procures him favour and free conversation with them.
