* Will.
Joh 6:68
* the snow, etc. or, my fields for a rock, or for the snow of
Lebanon? shall the running waters be forsaken for the
strange cold waters?
Parkhurst renders, "Will the snow of Lebanon fail from the
rock of the field? or will the issuing cold flowing waters
(from that mountain namely) be exhausted?" (See Targ., LXX.,
and Vulg.) No more could I fail my people if they trusted in
me. (Compare ch. 2:13.) Maundrell says, "The chief benefit
the mountain of Lebanon serves for, is, that by its exceeding
height, it proves a conservatory for abundance of snow, which
thawing in the heat of summer, affords supplies of water to
the rivers and fountains in the valleys below."
