And the remnant of Jacob shall be—as a dew, &c.— The dews were of the greatest service in this land, which was watered by rain only in two seasons of the year. The word dew, therefore, is used figuratively, to express any thing fructifying and exhilarating; and is well applied to the Maccabees, who, relying on the divine help, and without any foreign aid, with a small band overthrew mighty armies of the enemy, and were in their walls like lions; and young lions; bringing the greatest comfort and the highest honour to their afflicted country. See Houbigant.
