his virgin: Some interpret this of a man's continuing in a state of celibacy, and render παρθενος [Strong's G3933], not a virgin, but virginity; but such a construction of the original appears without example. It appears most obvious to explain it of a parent, or guardian, who had the charge of a virgin; and Kypke has shown that την παρθενον αυτου [Strong's G847] is an elegant phrase for his virgin daughter.
