- ambassadors
the word tzier, an ambassador, properly denotes a hinge; because
an ambassador is a person upon whom the business turns as upon a
hinge. So the Latin Cardinalis, from cardo, a hinge, was the
title of the prime minister of the emperor Theodosius, though now
applied only to the Pope's electors and counsellors.
- wine bottles
These bottle being made of skin, were consequently liable to be
rent, and capable of being mended; which is done, according to
Chardin, by putting in a piece, or by gathering up the wounded
piece in the manner of a purse; and sometimes by inserting a flat
piece of wood.

a nail.

* :16
VERSE 23
- cursed.
This may refer to the original curse pronounced against the
descendants of Canaan: both of them seem to have implied
nothing else than perpetual slavery. The Gibeonites were
brought, no doubt, under tribute; performed the meanest
offices for the Israelites; being in the same condition as the
servile class of Hindoos, called the {Chetrees;} had their
national importance annihilated, and yet were never permitted
to incorporate themselves with the Israelites.
- See on
* Ge 9:25,26 Le 27:28,29
- none of you be freed. Heb. not be cut off from you. hewers.
In the East, collecting wood for fuel, and carrying water, are
the peculiar employment of females. The Arab women of
Barbary, and the daughters of the Turcomans, are thus
employed. Hence Mr. Harmer concludes, that the bitterness of
the doom of the Gibeonites does not seem to have consisted in
the laboriousness of the service enjoined them, but its
disgracing them from the characteristic employment of men,
that of bearing arms, and condemning them and their posterity
for ever to the employment of females.
