This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_37:34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
Ver. 34. Mourned for his son many days.] Puerilitas est periculorum pelagus. Few live to be old, for one evil beast or another that devours them: as for one apple that hangs till it falls, many are cudgelled down or gathered off the tree. We should learn to bury children and friends, while yet alive; by acting their death to ourselves aforehand.
