This Chapter is partly Legal and partly Evangelical. Legal, charging this people with their fin of Idolatry, and of Ingratitude, showing them Gods wrath, partly already inflicted, and further threatened them to the 14. Verse; and again in the 15. and 16. Verses, there returning to further threats: but in the 14. Vers. there is something mixed of the Gospel in the midst of these charges and threats. Ephraim would have put off all the evil that came on him, upon God; but God charges Ephraim himself with it, all the change of Ephraim's condition from what it had been, comes from his own sin; and the evil that is like further to come upon him, will be for their own sin.

When Ephraim spake, Trembling; not when Ephraim spake tremblingly; but when Ephraim spake, (there's a 1stop) Trembling: as much as if it were said, There was trembling when Ephraim spake, those that heard him did tremble. When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling: ⟨p. 413⟩There was a time when Ephraim was very honourable among the Tribes, when the very speaking of Ephraim had great power, and took great impression upon whomsoever he spake to. Yea, though Ephraim was the younger brother, that came of Joseph, yet by the guidance of the hand of God upon Jacob's hand, the blessing came upon him more especially; and so from time to time God put much honour upon this Tribe of Ephraim, according to the blessing he had from Jacob, when his right hand did lay hold upon the head of Ephraim.
