COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

1. the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together — Hebrew, "were summoned." and went northward —After crossing the Jordan, their route from Ephraim was, strictly speaking, in a northeasterly direction, toward Mizpeh. the men of Ephraim . . . said unto Jephthah, Wherefore . . . didst [thou] not call us? —This is a fresh development of the jealous, rash, and irritable temper of the Ephraimites. The ground of their offense now was their desire of enjoying the credit of patriotism although they had not shared in the glory of victory. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-2" class="com-number"
