Is Israel a servant] Have I used him as a servant? and not rather as a sonne? Exodus 4:22. Or, is he a slave, that he is so slavishly intreated? to wit, in the time of his captivitie; like that, Chap. 49. 1. Or, how cometh it to passe, that he that was in such respect with God, is now left unto such a despicable condition, as if he had been by birth a slave? See vers. 2, 3. is he a home-borne slave] Such as being born of slaves in their Lord or Masters service, were slaves by birth. Genesis 17:12. Exod.. 21. 4. Psalms 116:16. why is he spoiled] Heb. become a spoil. Chap. 49. 32. Isaiah 42:24.
