Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 5:3

3 Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.

i. e. Of the last third which were to be dispersed.

O[illegible: 1 letter] small quantity.

Or by number as it may be read, tell out a small parcel of the Hair.

As men tye up in handkerchief, or in the skirt of their garment what they would not lose. So some few shall be kept, God will not cut off the whole house of Israel, but reserves a remnant.
