The poor — The people of the Jews, who are brought to extreme poverty. The title of first — born is given to persons or things which are most eminent in their kinds, as to the people of Israel, Exodus 4:22, to David, Psalms 89:27; Job 18:13, and here to persons eminently poor. Feed — Shall have plenty of provisions. Kill — I will utterly destroy thee both root and branch.
