Here a father counts aloud the perils of his helpless children. It is telling that he sees both their inability to fly and the fire's power: one who loves weighs every danger to the weak. In this is compassion for the defenseless. Thus the scripture reveals a spoken-aloud anxiety; and it will pass into a roll-call of his sons' names.
