Theological / Devotional

Small and great. The phrase thus translated is a Hebrew idiom meaning “young and old” when applied to persons. For example, the older of two brothers is always called the “large” or “great” and the younger is called the “small” or “little,” even though the younger may be of greater stature than his brother. The expression does not have reference to physical size or social rank. The idiom is common in the Scriptures (see Gen. 19:11; Deut. 1:17; 1 Sam. 5:9; etc.).
