RELUCTANCE TO PUNISH).
[2] Verse 8, _In measure._ Rather, _with measure by measure:_
Heb. "with _seah-seah,_" a seah, being the third part of an
ephah, was a moderate measure. With forbearance and
graduated severity, dealing out punishment in carefully
adjusted quantities, and at successive times, "not
suffering Thy whole displeasure to arise," "correcting with
judgment, not in anger" (Jer. x. 24, xxx. 11).--_Kay._
