The finger of God signifies his power, his operation. Pharaoh’s
magicians discovered the finger of God in the miracle which Moses
wrought, Exodus viii, 19. This legislator gave the law written by the
finger of God to the Hebrews, Exodus xxxi, 18. Our Saviour says he cast
out devils by the finger and Spirit of God, which he intimates was a
sign that the kingdom of God was come; that God’s spiritual government
of his church was begun to be exercised among the Jews, by the Messiah,
Luke xi, 20. To put forth one’s finger, is a bantering, insulting
gesture. “If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, and the
putting out of the finger,” Isaiah lviii, 9; if thou take away from the
midst of thee the chain, or yoke, wherewith thou loadest thy debtors;
and forbear pointing at them, and using jeering or menacing gestures.
