A note on commentaries: These commentaries are included for their historical and educational value. Written between the 1700s and 1800s, they may reflect theological perspectives, cultural assumptions, or political views of their time that differ from our own. They are the words of the commentators, not the Word of God. We encourage readers to engage with them thoughtfully and to let Scripture itself remain the final authority.
