Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand. Servants have ruled over us. Servants under the Chaldean governors ruled the Jews (Nehemiah 5:15, "Yea even their (the governors') servants bare rule over the people"). Israel, once a "kingdom of priests" (Exodus 19:6), is become like Canaan, "a servant of servants," according to the curse (Genesis 9:25). The Chaldeans were designed to be "servants" of Shem, being descended from Ham (Genesis 9:26; Genesis 10:6; Genesis 10:8). Now, through the Jews' sin, their positions are reversed.
