When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
Ver. 1. When Israel went out of Egypt] E medio gentis, id est, ex visceribus Aegyptiorum, qui eos quasi deglutiebant, Out of the midst of that nation, that is, out of the bowels of the Egyptians, who had, as it were, devoured them; thus the Jewish doctors gloss upon this text (Midr. Tillin. in Psa 114:1-8).
From a people of strange language] And yet more estranged affections, jeering them, and their religion, as the word lognez (which is of affinity with logneg, a scoffer) seemeth to sound. Afterwards it was prophesied that five cities in the land of Egypt should speak the language (or lip) of Canaan, Isaiah 19:18, viz. when the Lord should turn to them a pure language, Zephaniah 3:9 .
