Whilst it is yet in his greenness.] Or, shooting up in his stem.1 Some derive the Hebrew word from Ab, Father; and so it may be rendered from the letter of the Hebrew, though the expression be somewhat uncouth. While it is yet in it's paternity, or fatherhood, that is, while it is flourishing and procreative. Others derive it from Abib, which signifies an ear of corn, or the ear with the stalk. Hence the month Abib among the Jews had its name, because in those climates, corn was then eared and began to be ripe; it was the first month to the Israelites, because of their coming out of Egypt, and answered to part of our March, and part of April, Exod. 13.4. Chap. 23.15. This day came ye out in the month Abib, this month shall be to you the beginning of months. So then this greenness of the rush implies the strength and best of it, the goodliness and beauty of it.
Whilest it is yet in his greennesse.] Or, shooting up in his stemme.1 Some derive the Hebrew word from Ab, Father; and so it may be rendered from the letter of the Hebrew, though the expression be somewhat uncouth. While it is yet in it's paternity, or fatherhood, that is, while it is flourishing and procreative. Others derive it from Abib, which signifies an ear of corn, or the ear with the stalk. Hence the moneth Abib among the Jews had its name, because in those climates, corn was then eared and began to be ripe; it was the first moneth to the Israelites, because of their coming out of Aegypt, and answered to part of our March, and part of April, Exod. 13.4. Chap. 23.15. This day came ye out in the moneth Abib, this moneth shall be to you the beginning of moneths. So then this greennesse of the rush implies the strength and best of it, the goodlinesse and beauty of it.
