Matthew 10:30 - Exposition

But the very hairs of your head. "Your" emphatic, in contrast to the care bestowed on sparrows. (For the thought, compare not only the parallel passage, Luke 12:7 , but also Luke 21:18 ; Acts 27:34 .) Are all numbered . Perhaps long since ( ἠριθμημέναι εἰσίν ). When Job complained the Lord answered him, "Many hairs have! made on man, and for every single hair its own pit, that not two hairs should draw their sustenance from one pit … shall I make no mistake about this, and vet make a mistake in thy name and spell it not Ijob (Job, בוי ) ), but Ojeb (enemy, ביו ) )?" (Talm. Bab., 'Baba Bathra,' 16a).
