Gen_35:15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.
Ver. 16. She had hard labour.] Woman, of all creatures, bringeth forth with most pain and peril, as the philosopher {a} observeth, and experience confirmeth. Her only way is to send for Lady Faith, the best midwife; {1Ti_2:15} and thereby to repose upon him whose "voice causeth the hinds to calve," {Psa_29:9} which yet, of all brute creatures, bring forth with greatest trouble, "bowing themselves," bruising their young, and "casting out their sorrows." {Job_39:3-4}
