Here cometh an occasion of the evils: one Gaal by chance travailed that way: the Sechemites hired him to be their ruler and captain: and therefore putting their confidence in him, they go out into their vineyards, gather the grapes, and tread them, with great security. What this Gaal was, it appeareth not by the Scriptures R. Solomon thinketh he was an Ethnic.1 The Sechemites were so afeard of Abimelech, that they durst not gather their grapes: wherefore they hired this man. First, now they go forth into the field, which thing before they durst not do: they make great joy and mirth. For in the old time also (as it seemeth) they used, as they do now a days,2 great wantonness and liberty in the gathering in of the grapes: of which custom sprang the Comedies and Tragedies with the Grecians. And when Bacchus returned a conqueror out of India, the people led dances in honour of him at the winepresses. Yea and the Chaldee paraphrast maketh mention of dances in this place.
