Therefore, behold, &c.— See ch. Jeremiah 16:14. "One proverb shall give way to another, when the greater deliverance shall put the less out of remembrance. This wonderful work of God, in restoring the Jewish nation after their dispersion in every part of the world, will so far exceed the miracles which he wrought in their deliverance out of Egypt, that the latter will not deserve to be mentioned with the former." St. Paul calls this restoration of the Jews life from the dead, Romans 11:15 that is, it would be a miracle as surprising as if a dead body was restored again to life. See Bishop Chandler's Defence.
