Now, though the Israelites doubtless brought out of Egypt more raiment than what they had upon them; and they might manufacture the fleeces of their flocks in the wilderness; and also might be favoured by Providence with other supplies from the neighbouring nations or travelling hordes of Arabs; yet, when we consider their immense numbers, their situation and long continuance in the wilderness, and the very strong expressions made use of in the text, why should we question the extraordinary and miraculous interposition of God in this respect, as well as in others, not less stupendous in their nature, or constant in their supply? Deut 29:5; Neh 9:21; Matt 26:25-30 consider Deut 4:9, Deut 4:23; Isa 1:3; Ezek 12:3, Ezek 18:28 as a man 2Sam 7:14; Job 5:17-18; Ps 89:32, Ps 94:12; Prov 3:12; 1Cor 11:32; Heb 12:5-11; Rev 3:19
