Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) To preserve you a posterity in the earth.--Heb., To put for you a remnant in the land, that is, to preserve a remainder for you, as the word is translated in 2Samuel 14:7. During the seven years' famine many races probably dwindled away, and the Hebrews, as mere sojourners in Canaan, would have been in danger of total extinction.By a great deliverance.--That is, by a signal interference on your behalf. But the word rendered "deliverance," more exactly signifies that which escapes (see 2Kings 19:31, where, as here, it is joined with the word remnant, and 2Kings 19:30, where it is itself rendered remnant). The two nouns really signify the same thing; but whereas in the first clause the words seem to forebode that only few would escape, in the second there is the assurance of their surviving in such numbers as to be able to grow into a great nation.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewGodאֱלֹהִים֙ (’ĕ·lō·hîm)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 430: gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlativesentוַיִּשְׁלָחֵ֤נִי (way·yiš·lā·ḥê·nî)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular | first person common singularStrong's 7971: To send away, for, outme before youלִפְנֵיכֶ֔ם (lip̄·nê·ḵem)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine pluralStrong's 6440: The faceto preserveלָשׂ֥וּם (lā·śūm)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 7760: Put -- to put, place, setyouלָכֶ֛ם (lā·ḵem)Preposition | second person masculine pluralStrong's Hebrew as a remnantשְׁאֵרִ֖ית (šə·’ê·rîṯ)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 7611: Rest, residue, remnant, remainderon the earthבָּאָ֑רֶץ (bā·’ā·reṣ)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 776: Earth, landand to save your livesוּלְהַחֲי֣וֹת (ū·lə·ha·ḥă·yō·wṯ)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Verb - Hifil - Infinitive constructStrong's 2421: To live, to reviveby a greatגְּדֹלָֽה׃ (gə·ḏō·lāh)Adjective - feminine singularStrong's 1419: Great, older, insolentdeliverance.לִפְלֵיטָ֖ה (lip̄·lê·ṭāh)Preposition-l | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 6413: Deliverance, an escaped portionJump to PreviousAhead Alive Deliverance Earth Escape Great Lives Posterity Preserve Remnant Save Survivors
