This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Grant, O Lord, that the giving of one son may not be joined with the taking away of another; that Ishmael may faithfully serve thee, and may have a share in thy favour and gracious covenant. For this seems to be the meaning of this phrase of living before God, or in God’s presence, by comparing a parallel phrase, of walking before God, Gen_17:1, and elsewhere, and an opposite phrase, from thy face shall I be hid, Gen_4:14.
