Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) The only son of his mother, and she was a widow.--The two facts are obviously stated as enhancing the bitterness of the mother's sorrow. The one prop of her life, the hope of her widowhood, had been taken from her. The burial, as was the invariable practice in the East, took place outside the city.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekAsὡς (hōs)AdverbStrong's 5613: Probably adverb of comparative from hos; which how, i.e. In that manner.He approachedἤγγισεν (ēngisen)Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person SingularStrong's 1448: Trans: I bring near; intrans: I come near, approach.
