5. We may observe the Manner of Prayer agreed on, or the Manner in which they agree to engage in and perform the Duty. Let us go speedily to pray; or as it is in the Margin, Let us go continually. The Words literally translated are, Let us go in going. Such an Ingemination or doubling of Words is very common in the Hebrew Language, when it is intended that a Thing shall be very strongly expressed; it generally implies the superlative Degree of a Thing; as the Holy of Holies signifies the most holy: But it commonly denotes, not only the utmost Degree of a Thing, but also the utmost Certainty; as when God said to Abraham. In multiplying, I will multiply thy Seed, (Gen. xxii.17.) it implies both that God would certainly multiply his Seed, and also multiply it exceedingly. So when God said to Adam, In the Day that thou eatest thereof, in dying thou shalt die (as the Words are in the Original) it implies, both that he should surely die, and also that he should die most terribly, should utterly perish, and be destroyed to the utmost Degree. Yea, sometimes it seems to imply something else still: And in short, as this Ingemination ⟨p. 13⟩of Words in the Hebrew, in general denotes the Strength of Expression, so it is used to signify almost all those Things that are wont to be signified by the various Forms of strong Speech in other Languages: Sometimes it signifies the utmost Degree of a Thing; sometimes Certainty; sometimes the Peremptoriness and Terribleness of a Threatening, or the Greatness and Positiveness of a Promise, the Strictness of a Command, and the Earnestness of a Request. When God says to Adam, Dying thou shalt die, it is equivalent to such strong Expressions in English, as, Thou shalt die indeed, or, Thou shalt die with a Witness. So when it is said in the Text, Let us go in going, and pray before the Lord, the Strength of the Expression represents the Earnestness of those that make the Proposal, their great Engagedness […]. the Affair; and with Respect to the Duty proposed, it may be understood to signify, that they should be speedy, fervent, and constant in it; or, in one Word, that it should be thoroughly performed.
