Genesis 32:15 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals. Ten bulls - The Syriac and Vulgate have twenty; but ten is a sufficient proportion to the forty kine. By all this we see that Jacob was led to make restitution for the injury he had done to his brother. Restitution for injuries done to man is essentially requisite if in our power. He who can and will not make restitution for the wrongs he has done, can have no claim even on the mercy of God.
