Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

And it came to pass, the third day after I was delivered,.... Of a child, as before expressed:
that this woman was delivered also; of another child; and being both of the same sex, both sons, as afterwards appears; and being so nearly of an age, it was difficult to distinguish them;
and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house,
save we two in the house; so that in this trial no evidences could be produced on either side.
