Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
Touch not—referring to Genesis 26:11, where Abimelech says of Isaac, "He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death."
mine anointed—as specially consecrated to Me (Psalms 2:2). The patriarch was the prophet, priest, and king of his family.
my prophets—in a similar sense, compare Genesis 20:7. The "anointed" are those vessels of God, consecrated to His service, "in whom (as Pharaoh said of Joseph, Genesis 41:38) the Spirit of God is" [HENGSTENBERG].
few . . . in number—alluding to Jacob's words (Genesis 34:30), "I being few in number."
yea, very few—literally, "as a few," that is, like fewness itself (compare Isaiah 1:9).
strangers—sojourners in the land of their future inheritance, as in a strange country (Hebrews 11:9).
