SEV Biblia, Chapter 32:10
Menor soy que todas las misericordias, y que toda la verdad que has hecho con tu siervo; que con mi bordón pasé este Jordán, y ahora estoy sobre dos cuadrillas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 32:10
Verse 10. I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies] The marginal reading is more consistent with the original: lkm ytnfq tmah lkmw µydsjh katonti miccol hachasadim umiccol haemeth, I am less than all the compassions, and than all the faithfulness, which thou hast showed unto thy servant. Probably St Paul had his eye on this passage when he wrote, Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints. A man who sees himself in the light of God will ever feel that he has no good but what he has received, and that he deserves nothing of all that he has. The archangels of God cannot use a different language, and even the spirits of just men consummated in their plenitude of bliss, cannot make a higher boast. For with my staff] i.e., myself alone, without any attendants, as the Chaldee has properly rendered it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-23 - Times of fear should be times of prayer: whatever causes fear, shoul drive us to our knees, to our God. Jacob had lately seen his guards of angels, but in this distress he applied to God, not to them; he kne they were his fellow-servants, Re 22:9. There cannot be a bette pattern for true prayer than this. Here is a thankful acknowledgemen of former undeserved favours; a humble confession of unworthiness; plain statement of his fears and distress; a full reference of the whole affair to the Lord, and resting all his hopes on him. The best we can say to God in prayer, is what he has said to us. Thus he made the name of the Lord his strong tower, and could not but be safe. Jacob' fear did not make him sink into despair, nor did his prayer make his presume upon God's mercy, without the use of means. God answers prayer by teaching us to order our affairs aright. To pacify Esau, Jacob sen him a present. We must not despair of reconciling ourselves to thos most angry against us.
