_ _ upon all flesh — hitherto confined to the seed of Abraham.
_ _ sons ... daughters ... young men ... old men ... servants ... handmaidens — without distinction of sex, age, or rank.

And your young men shall see visions — In young men the outward sense, are most vigorous, and the bodily strength is entire, whereby they are best qualified to sustain the shock which usually attends the visions of God. In old men the internal senses are most vigorous, suited to divine dreams. Not that the old are wholly excluded from the former, nor the young from the latter. |

(l) All without exception, both upon the Jews and Gentiles.
(m) That is, men. |
