6. written before me —"it is decreed by Me," namely, what follows ( :- ), [MAURER]; or, their guilt is recorded before Me (compare Daniel 7:10 ; Revelation 20:12 ; Malachi 3:16 ). into . . . bosom — ( Psalms 79:12 ; Jeremiah 32:18 ; Luke 6:38 ). The Orientals used the loose fold of the garment falling on "the bosom" or lap, as a receptacle for carrying things. The sense thus is: I will repay their sin so abundantly that the hand will not be able to receive it; it will need the spacious fold on the bosom to contain it [ROSENMULLER]. Rather it is, "I will repay it to the very person from whom it has emanated. " Compare "God did render the evil of the men of Shechem upon their heads" ( Judges 9:57 ; Psalms 7:16 ) [GESENIUS]. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-7" class="com-number"
