The word signifieth the purest, sincerest, and most tender kindness, the fullest favour, the most courteous courtesy, Gen. 21.23. chap. 24.49. Exod. 15.13. Ruth 1.8. Hebricians tell us, That it noteth an exuberance of kindness, such as breaks the bounds, and exceeds the ordinary laws of love. It is but a poor way of loving, to love only by rule and measure. There is no true love can act beyond the rule which God gives, but love quickly exceeds the rules of men. Hence the Jews call those Chasidim, who are not only just by statute, giving every man his right, paying every man his due, but noble, heroical, free-hearted and open-handed in their distribution of favours.
