God's "Double" Restoration
Commentators explain that the promise of receiving "double" for past shame is not simple math, but a divine principle of super-abundant restoration. Scholars like Albert Barnes and John Calvin note that God's blessing will be so great that it far outweighs and compensates for all previous calamities and humiliation. This promise points to a future prosperity and honor that is vastly greater than anything that was lost.
