Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
The third beast - That which had the face of a man.
A black horse - The emblem of famine. Some think that which took place under Claudius. See Matthew 24:7; the same which was predicted by Agabus, Acts 11:28.
A pair of balances - To show that the scarcity would be such, that every person must be put under an allowance.
