God bare thee, or, carried thee, as a father carries his weak and tender child in his arms, as Isa_49:22; or as upon eagles’ wings, as it is Exo_19:4, through difficulties and dangers, gently leading you according as you were able to go, and sustaining you by his power and goodness. See of this or the like phrase Num_11:12Deu_32:10,11 Psa 91:12 Isa_46:3,4.
