Though they called them] That is, The Prophets and 1Messengers of God called them unto the most High, they wanted not means in the Ministry of the Word, they were called to the Most High, that is, to God. Now that God is The Most High, we have spoken to in Chap. 7. Vers. 16. there he hath the title of THE MOST HIGH. You who are highest, look upon God as above you, know that God looks upon you, and all men that are lifted up in the pride of their own hearts, as infinitely below him.

- 1Expos.
God is the most high: Well, but, They called them out unto the most high; that is, They called them in the Ministry of the Word.
First, That they might know him, that is, the most high, that they might know him to be the Infinite, Supreme, High, Glorious, Majesty, that they might know the infinite distance that there is between God and the Creature, and that they might know him to be the Highest end of all things, so as to work after him as the most high.
