**sowed:** The author of the " History of the Piratical States of Barbary " observes - p. 44 that the Moors of that country are divided into tribes like the Arabians, and like them dwell in tents, formed into itinerant villages; that "these wanderers farm lands of the inhabitants of the towns, sow and cultivate them, paying their rent with the produce, such as fruits, corn, wax, etc. They are very skilful in choosing the most advantageous soils for every season, and very careful to avoid the Turkish troops, the violence of the one little suiting the simplicity of the other." It is natural to suppose, that Isaac possessed the like sagacity, when he sowed in the land of Gerar, and received that year an hundred-fold.
**received:** Heb. found
**an hundredfold:** [Psalms 67:6](../../../kjv/psalms/67/6), [Psalms 72:16](../../../kjv/psalms/72/16), [Ecclesiastes 11:6](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/11/6), [Zechariah 8:12](../../../kjv/zechariah/8/12), [Matthew 13:8](../../../kjv/matthew/13/8), [Matthew 13:23](../../../kjv/matthew/13/23), [Mark 4:8](../../../kjv/mark/4/8), [1 Corinthians 3:6](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/3/6), [2 Corinthians 9:10](../../../kjv/2-corinthians/9/10), [2 Corinthians 9:11](../../../kjv/2-corinthians/9/11), [Galatians 6:7](../../../kjv/galatians/6/7), [Galatians 6:8](../../../kjv/galatians/6/8)

**And the man waxed great:** Dr. Adam Clarke remarks, that there is a strange and observable occurrence of the same term in the original, which is literally, "And the man was GREAT, and he went, going on, and was GREAT, until that he was exceeding GREAT." How simple is this language, and yet how forcible!
**waxed great:** [Genesis 24:35](../../../kjv/genesis/24/35), [Psalms 112:3](../../../kjv/psalms/112/3)

**servants:** or, husbandry
**envied:** [Genesis 37:11](../../../kjv/genesis/37/11), [1 Samuel 18:9](../../../kjv/1-samuel/18/9), [Job 5:2](../../../kjv/job/5/2), [Psalms 112:10](../../../kjv/psalms/112/10), [Proverbs 27:4](../../../kjv/proverbs/27/4), [Ecclesiastes 4:4](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/4/4)

**his father's:** [Genesis 21:30](../../../kjv/genesis/21/30)
**had stopped:** In those countries, a well of water was a great acquisition; and hence, this mode of injuring new settlers, or revenging themselves on their enemies, is still resorted to among the inhabitants.
**Reciprocal:** [Genesis 21:25](../../../kjv/genesis/21/25) - reproved [Genesis 26:29](../../../kjv/genesis/26/29) - not [Exodus 2:17](../../../kjv/exodus/2/17) - shepherds [2 Kings 3:25](../../../kjv/2-kings/3/25) - stopped

**mightier:** [Exodus 1:9](../../../kjv/exodus/1/9)
**Reciprocal:** [Genesis 20:2](../../../kjv/genesis/20/2) - Abimelech [Genesis 26:27](../../../kjv/genesis/26/27) - seeing [Mark 5:17](../../../kjv/mark/5/17) - *General*

**in the days:** Houbigant contends, that instead of bimey, "in the days," we should read, avdey, "servants;" agreeably to the Samaritan, Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate: "And Isaac digged again the wells of water which the servants of Abraham his father had digged."
**and he:** [Genesis 21:31](../../../kjv/genesis/21/31), [Numbers 32:38](../../../kjv/numbers/32/38), [Psalms 16:4](../../../kjv/psalms/16/4), [Hosea 2:17](../../../kjv/hosea/2/17), [Zechariah 13:2](../../../kjv/zechariah/13/2)

**digged:** The wells in Arabia are generally dug in the rock: their mouths are about six feet in diameter, and they are from nineteen to twenty feet in depth. But Niebuhr informs us, that many wells are from 160 to 170 feet deep.
**Rehoboth:** i.e. Room
**the Lord:** [Psalms 4:1](../../../kjv/psalms/4/1), [Psalms 18:19](../../../kjv/psalms/18/19), [Psalms 118:5](../../../kjv/psalms/118/5)
