     * comfortable.  Heb. for rest.  as an angel.
       This is very much like the hyperbolical language which is
       addressed by the Hindoos to an European when they desire to
       obtain something from him:  "Saheb," say they, "can do every
       thing.  No one can prevent the execution of Saheb's commands.
       Saheb is God."  Though the expression may be imputed to the
       hyperbolical genius of these countries, yet there was,
       perhaps, more of real persuasion than we are apt to suppose.
       Sir John Chardin states, that having found fault with the king
       of Persia's valuation of a rich trinket, the grand master told
       him that if a Persian had dared to have done such a thing, it
       would have been as much as his life was worth.  "Know," said
       he, "that the kings of Persia have a general and full
       knowledge of matters, as sure as it is extensive; and that,
       equally in the greatest and smallest things, there is nothing
       more just and sure than what they pronounce."
