1Isa. 58.3. Who can declare his Generation? that is, none can, because he is eternal. Heb. 1.5. For unto which of the Angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, &c. Ver. 13. But to which of the Angels said he at any time, Sit on my Right-hand, &c. That is, he never said so to any of the Angels: See Isa. 40.13, 14. Luke 14.5. John 8.46. Rom. 8.31, 33, 34, 35. & 11.34, 35. 1 Cor. 9.7, &c.
Sometimes it does not absolutely deny, but restrictively, so that the Particle quis, who, is put for quotusquisque how many, which denotes fewness, or paucity; as Psal. 90.11. Who knoweth the power of thine Anger? that is, they are indeed but few, to wit, the Servants of the Lord; as Ver. 13, 16. Isa. 53.1. Hosea 14.10, &c. Sometimes it denotes the Difficulty of the Question asked: 1 Sam. 2.25. If a Man sin against the Lord, who shall intercede for him? That is, how difficult is it to appease the Lord, when he is angry for our Sins?
