Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(30) As soon as this thy son was come.--The feeling of discontent passes into scorn and bitterness. The sin of the wanderer is painted at once in the coarsest and darkest colours. The very turn of the phrase, "this thy son" speaks of a concentrated malignity.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekButδὲ (de)ConjunctionStrong's 1161: A primary particle; but, and, etc.whenὅτε (hote)AdverbStrong's 3753: When, at which time.
