On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

It must be first observed, that the order of time in which the prophecies were written has not been retained. In history the regular succession of days and years ought to be preserved, but in prophetic writings this is not so necessary, as I have already reminded you.

John Calvin· Commentaries, 1554reformed

Note, Those are in the best frame to meet sufferings who are mortified to the world and life a life of self-denial. (6.) That in general they might learn to live by rule and under discipline. It is good for us all to do so, and to teach our children to do so.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

tents-- (Jud 4:17). live many days--according to the promise connected with the fifth commandment (Ex 20:12; Eph 6:2, 3). strangers--They were not of the stock of Jacob, but sojourners in Israel.
