The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, [that] this [man] was born there. Selah.
Ver. 6. The Lord shall count when he writeth up the people] When he maketh his cease book (called the writing of the house of Israel, Ezekiel 13:9, the Lord's book of remembrance, Malachi 3:16, the register of the living in Jerusalem, Isa 4:3), he shall muster them in the roll of his soldiers, number them in the catalogue of his citizens, call them in the nomenclature of his disciples, &c. A glorious privilege surely.
