He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied
greatly,
&c.] Not only their fields and vineyards are blessed with an
increase, but these husbandmen themselves; as man at his first
creation was bid to do, being blessed of God; and as the
Israelites were in Egypt, ( Genesis 1:28
) ( Exodus
1:7 ) and which may spiritually denote the great number of
converts to Christian churches, especially in the latter day, (
Jeremiah
30:19 ) .
And suffereth not their cattle to decrease;
their sheep and oxen, which is reckoned a great temporal
happiness, ( Psalms
144:13 Psalms
144:14 ) , and may signify that God does and will give a
sufficient number of Gospel ministers, comparable to oxen for
their laboriousness, that shall in all ages minister to his
churches; see ( 1
Corinthians 9:9 1
Corinthians 9:10 ) ( 1 Timothy
5:17 ) .
