This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_33:13 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children [are] tender, and the flocks and herds with young [are] with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
Ver. 13. If men should over-drive.] A pattern of a good pastor, ever to have an eye to the weak ones; and so to regard all in his flock, as he overdrive not any. "Who hath despised the day of small things?" {Zec_4:10} Weak ones are to be received, "but not to doubtful disputations." {Rom_14:1} Novices are not to be put upon the austerities of religion. {Mat_9:15} Christ preached "as they were able to hear." {Mar_4:33} Peter was specially charged to look to the "lambs." {Joh_21:15} Christ "bears them in his bosom, and gently leads those that are with young." {Isa_40:11}
