Matthew Poole and continuators on Exodus 2:16

16 Now the Priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their fathers flock.

Not of Idols, for then Moses would not have married into his family, but of the true God, for some such were in those antient times, here and there, as appears by Melchisedeck, though his manner of worshipping God might be superstitious and corrupt: Or the Hebrew Cohen may here signify a Prince, or a Potent[illegible: 1+ letters]te, as Gen. 41. 45. Nor doth the employment of his daughters contradict that translation, both because principalities were then many of them very small and mean, and because this employment then was esteemed noble and worthy of great mens daughters, as appears from Gen. 24. 15. and 29. 6. &c.

Marginal references: Or, Prince.
