Some of his brethren] Hebr. Of the extremity of his brethren, five in number; which five they were is not set downe, though some Jewes take upon them to tell them by name, as the Papists do by the Wise-men that came by th guidance of a Starre to worship our Saviour. Some think because of the word Extremity, or the last, or outside of his brethren, that he took five of the eldest, or five of the youngest, which were the extreames, and left the middlemost; others conceive he made no choyce at all, but took such as came first, or were readiest when he required their presence before Pharaoh; others think he made choyce of the worst, such as might be least like to be taken for his servants, or to be made Courtiers, whereof he was unwilling, because he was loath to adventure them upon the corruption of the Court; others that he made choice of such as were most gracefull, and least lyable to scorn, or contempt of curious or envious Courtiers: But he made choyce of such as himself best liked, and were fittest to be brought into the presence of the King; and this he did that the King might be assured they were come, and might see what manner of men they were.
