Himself. Hebrew may be also "immediately," (Piscator) or "in secret," (Kimchi) as the matter seems not to have transpired. (Calmet)
Alexandrian Septuagint, "to Thelam, where he was, without delay, saying, Make," &c. (Haydock)
Land? Is it not thine? or have not I the disposal of a great part of it? (Menochius)
