"This is a very strong eastern expression to represent the number of miracles which Jesus wrought. But however strong and strange it may appear to us of the western world, we find sacred and other authors using hyperboles of the like kind and signification. See Num 13:33; Deu 1:28; Dan 4:11; Ecclesiasticus 47:15. Basnage gives a very similar hyperbole taken from the Jewish writers, in which Jochanan is said to have ""composed such a great number of precepts and lessons, that if the heavens were paper, and all the trees of the forest so many pens, and all the children of men so many scribes, they would not suffice to write all his lessons."" Amo 7:10; Mat 19:24" |
