Theological / Devotional

Kindred. Gr. suggeneia, “kindred,” or “family,” used also in v. 3 and Luke 1:61.

Threescore and fifteen souls. See on Gen. 47:26, 27. There are many Jewish traditions as to the number who went down into Egypt (see Talmud Baba Bathra 123a, 123b, Soncino ed., pp. 511, 512).
