32:4 A large number of people gathered together and stopped up all the springs and the stream that flowed through the district.4 They reasoned,5 “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find plenty of water?”
tnHeb “and they closed up all the springs and the stream that flows in the midst of the land.” Here אָרֶץ (’arets, “land”) does not refer to the entire land, but to a smaller region like a district.
