Wesley's Notes on the Bible When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. 114:2 Judah - Or Israel, one tribe being put for all. Judah he mentions as the chief of all the tribes.
The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. 114:4 The mountains - Horeb and Sinai, two tops of one mountain, and other neighbouring mountains.
What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; 114:7 Tremble - The mountains did more than what was fit at the appearance of the great God.
Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters. Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible by John Wesley [1754-65] Bible Hub |
