This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I will prepare thee unto blood - I will expose thee to slaughter.
sith - old English for “seeing that” or “since.”
thou hast not hated blood - The Hebrew order is, “thou hast hated not - blood”; that is, thou couldst not bear to live without bloodshed [Grotius]. There is a play on similar sounds in the Hebrew; Edom resembling dam, the Hebrew for “blood”; as “Edom” means “red,” the transition to “blood” is easy. Edom, akin to blood in name, so also in nature and acts; “blood therefore shall pursue thee.” The measure which Edom meted to others should be meted to himself (Psa 109:17; Mat 7:2; Mat 26:52).
