This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
Ver. 61. There is none of thy kindred] There is an inbred desire in us all of immortality; we would eternize our names, and do therefore call our children, cities, lands, &c., after them, Psa_49:11. But they do best that get assurance that their names are written in heaven. They that depart from God shall be written in the earth, Jer_17:13, as Cain’s son, Lord Enoch of Enoch, Gen_4:17, and those men of renown, Gen_6:4, were.
