This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Exo_1:12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.

Ver. 12. The more they multiplied.] As the ground is most fruitful that is most harrowed; and as the walnut tree bears best when most beaten. Fish thrive better in cold and salt waters, than in warm and fresh.



And they were grieved.] Or, irked, as Moab likewise was because of Israel: they did fret and vex at them. {Num_22:3-4} Yet they wero allied, and passed by them in peace: no other reason but the old enmity, Gen_3:15, and that utter antipathy, Pro_29:27.
