And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
D.A. Carson, in one of his sermons, or lectures, tells of Douglas Moo's grandfather coming to Ellis Island from the Netherlands. He spoke no English and the government clerk who was checking him in asked him what village he was from. His reply sounded like Moo and that is what the clerk put down as his name, hence he and his progeny are stuck with it.And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
I second this. Both Spurgeon and Martyn Lloyd-Jones had a very high regard for this commentary. Martyn Lloyd-Jones owed 'much profit and pleasure to it', characterising its contents as unsurpassed in 'warmth of spirit' and 'practical application.'Check out Haldane as well in addition to the great list already provided.
Did you expect Puritanboard Members to be "Mooved" by this verse from scripture? Actually I found the joke udderly funnyAnd Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
Now we can tie this nicely together. Thirsty "brown" cows give a gentle "moo" when they find a "poole" of water.And don't neglect Poole

I'll third Haldane. Calvin, Comm on NT Use of OT, and Stott's BST volume are all helpful. Schreiner is solid exegetically. And don't neglect Poole...brief, but often insightful.

Stott's views on the first and last Adam are way off, although he has a lot of good things to say, too. Read him with discretion. Schreiner is off on his denial of imputation in the Romans commentary, something he fixed later in his scholarship. He believes imputation now. I wish he would update his Romans commentary to reflect further scholarship and his change in views.
May I ask how so?I've found Moo to be a little strange in more than a few places. The ones I go to first are 1. Hodge and 2. Haldane. Next tier for me is Calvin and Murray. I've found these 4 commentaries to be the most helpful on Romans.
