"And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And he said unto him, I will not go,.... Which was a very peremptory answer, he seemed determined, and at a point about it for the present, though it is,
probable he afterwards changed his mind, like the young man in the parable, Mat 21:29 , but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred; which were prevailing motives with him, his native country, his relations, and father's house; to this resolution he came, both because of his substance, and because of his family, as Jarchi.
