13 Though the subject here is singular (חֶמְדַּה, khemdah; “desire”), the preceding plural predicate mandates a collective subject, “desired (things)” or, better, an emendation to a plural form, חֲמֻדֹת (khamudot, “desirable [things],” hence “treasures”). Cf. “the precious things”; “the wealth”; “the treasure.” In the OT context this has no direct reference to the coming of the Messiah.
