Bible Comments

The murderer rising with the light— In broad day-light the murderer would arise, and slay the poor and the defenceless. See Micah 7:6. The two verbs arise and slay signify, by a common Hebraism, arise to slay.

Job 24:14

14 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
