Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, the third day after I was delivered,.... Of a child, as before expressed:

that this woman was delivered also; of another child; and being both of the same sex, both sons, as afterwards appears; and being so nearly of an age, it was difficult to distinguish them;

and we [were] together; [there was] no stranger with us in the house,

save we two in the house; so that in this trial no evidences could be produced on either side.
