Isaiah 3:6-7
man <0376> [a man.]
shout <05375> [swear. Heb. lift up the hand.]
doctor <02280> [healer. Heb. binder up.]
food <03899> [neither bread.]
Princes and great men in the East, as Sir J. Chardin testifies, are obliged to have a great stock of clothes in readiness for presents on all occasions; and a great quantity of provisions for the table is equally necessary, (see 1 Ki 4:22, 23. Ne 5:17, 18.) Hence the person desired to undertake the government, alleges as an excuse that he is not able to support the dignity of his station.
