- Genesis 41:49
So Joseph stored up grain in such abundance, like the sand of the sea, that he stopped keeping track of it; for it was beyond measure.

- Genesis 41:53
When the seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end,
Commentary on Genesis 41:531 voice
And the seven years of plenteousness that was in the land of Egypt were ended. Perhaps quickly after the birth of Ephraim, Joseph's second son; since the account follows upon that, and it is certain that he was born before the years of famine began, Gen 41:50; some connect the words, "moreover when" the seven years of plenty were ended, then began, as follows, seven years of famine; these events were fulfilled just as Joseph had predicted.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Genesis 41:54
the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. And although there was famine in every country, there was food throughout the land of Egypt.
Commentary on Genesis 41:542 voices
And the seven years of dearth began to come, as Joseph had said,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The seven years of dearth began to come - Owing in Egypt to the Nile not rising more than twelve or thirteen cubits; (See Clarke on Gen 41:31 (note)); but there must have been other causes which affected other countries, not immediately dependent on the Nile, though remotely connected with Egypt and Canaan. The dearth was in all lands - All the countries dependent on the Nile.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Exodus 16:17
So the Israelites did this. Some gathered more, and some less.
Commentary on Exodus 16:172 voices
And the children of Israel did so,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Some more, some less - It is evidently implied that the people were in part at least disobedient and failed in this first trial.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- Exodus 16:18
When they measured it by the omer, he who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall. Each one gathered as much as he needed to eat.
Commentary on Exodus 16:182 voices
And when they did mete it with an omer,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
He that gathered much had nothing over - Because his gathering was in proportion to the number of persons for whom he had to provide. And some having fewer, others more in family, and the gathering being in proportion to the persons who were to eat of it, therefore he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Exodus 16:22–24
On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much food—two omers per person—and all the leaders of the congregation came and reported this to Moses.
Commentary on Exodus 16:22–242 voices
And it came to pass, that on the sixth day,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
On the sixth day they gathered twice as much - This they did that they might have a provision for the Sabbath, for on that day no manna fell, Exo 16:26, Exo 16:27. What a convincing miracle was this! No manna fell on the Sabbath! Had it been a natural production it would have fallen on the Sabbath as at other times; and had there not been a supernatural influence to keep it sweet and pure, it would have been corrupted on the Sabbath as well as on other days.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- 1 Kings 17:5
So Elijah did what the LORD had told him, and he went and lived by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
Commentary on 1 Kings 17:51 voice
So he went, and did according to the word of the Lord,.... Took his journey eastward, and hid himself in the place directed to: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan; see Gill on 1Ki 17:3.

- 1 Kings 17:6
The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he would drink from the brook.
Commentary on 1 Kings 17:61 voice
Therefore do not boast when you fast, do not glory lest fasting profit you nothing; for those things that are done for ostentation will not prolong their fruit into the future, but they consume the reward for present deeds. Elijah was in the desert that no one might see him fast except the ravens alone, when they supplied him with food. Elisha was in the desert where no food except poisonous wild gourds could be found. John was in the desert, where he could find only locusts and wild honey.
Ambrose of Milan· On Elijah and Fasting, Chapter 11, 40, 397Patristic
- 1 Kings 17:10–13
So Elijah got up and went to Zarephath. When he arrived at the city gate, there was a widow gathering sticks. Elijah called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in a cup, so that I may drink.”
Commentary on 1 Kings 17:10–132 voices
When Elijah reached the gate of Zarephath, he met a woman and immediately realized, through the Holy Spirit, that she was the widow about whom God had talked to him. She was there and looked at him. It seems to me that Elijah had asked …

- Proverbs 11:16
A gracious woman attains honor, but ruthless men gain only wealth.
Commentary on Proverbs 11:162 voices
A gracious woman retaineth honour,.... Or "a woman of grace" (s) one that has the grace of God in her heart, and is of a virtuous conversation, and by both amiable and lovely to others; as she receives honour or glory from them, which she deserves, so she retains the same.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
A gracious woman retaineth honor - Instead of this clause, the Septuagint have, Γυνη ευχαριστος εγειρει ανδρι δοζαν, A gracious woman raiseth up honor to the man; Θρονος δε ατιμιας γυνη μισουσα δικαια, But she that hateth righteous things is a throne of dishonor. A good wife is an honor to her husband; and a bad wife is her husbands reproach: if this be so, how careful should a man be whom he marries!
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Proverbs 12:27
A lazy man does not roast his game, but a diligent man prizes his possession.
Commentary on Proverbs 12:272 voices
The fraudulent one will not gain profit, etc. For money acquired by fraud adds more harm to the soul than profit to the chest. And he who knows how to dispense his own substance for the Lord, will receive celestial gifts as a reward for …
Bede· Commentary on Proverbs, 735Patristic
The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting,.... Because he takes none. The slothful man takes no pains to get anything for a livelihood, by hunting or otherwise; and though he loves to live well, and eat roast meat, yet what he roasts is not what he has got himself, but what another has laboured for. It is observed (o) that fowlers burn the wings of birds taken by them, that they may not fly away; to which the allusion may be.

- Proverbs 13:22
A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the sinner’s wealth is passed to the righteous.
Commentary on Proverbs 13:222 voices
A good man leaves an inheritance to his children, etc. We often see good men die without children, indeed promising greater rewards from the Lord to those who have preferred the chastity of virginity to the procreation of children, yet also the substance of the …

- Proverbs 21:17
He who loves pleasure will become poor; the one who loves wine and oil will never be rich.
Commentary on Proverbs 21:172 voices
He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Wine and oil - i. e., The costly adjuncts of a princely banquet. The price of oil or precious unguent was about equal to the 300 days wages of a field laborer Mat 20:2. Indulgence in such a luxury would thus become the type of all extravagance and excess.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- Proverbs 21:20
Precious treasures and oil are in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man consumes them.
Commentary on Proverbs 21:202 voices
A desirable treasure, and oil in the dwelling of the just, etc. The cheerfulness of good works, always lovable to God; and the fatness of love shines in the church of the saints. This verse the blessed Pope Gregory in his Homilies on the Gospel …

The prudent see danger and take cover, but the simple keep going and suffer the consequences.
Commentary on Proverbs 22:32 voices
The prudent sees danger and hides himself, etc. Many of the leaders believed in the Lord, but because of the Pharisees, they did not confess, so as not to be expelled from the synagogue: for they were prudent, seeing the danger of impending persecution, and …
