Bible Comments

We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. We have given the hand to the Egyptians - We have sought alliances both with the Egyptians and Assyrians, and made covenants with them in order to get the necessaries of life. Or, wherever we are now driven, we are obliged to submit to the people of the countries in order to the preservation of our lives.
