Footnotes
- 8 Heb “Shepherds and their flocks will come against it.” Rulers are often depicted as shepherds; see 945 רָעָה 1.d(2) (cf. Jer 12:10). The translation of this verse attempts to clarify the point of this extended metaphor.
- 9 Heb “They will thrust [= pitch] tents around it.” The shepherd imagery has a surprisingly ominous tone. The beautiful pasture filled with shepherds grazing their sheep is in reality a city under siege from an attacking enemy.
- 10 Heb “They will graze each one his portion.” For the use of the verb “graze” to mean “strip” or “devastate” see 945 רָעָה 2.c. For a similar use of the word normally meaning “hand” to mean portion compare 2 Sam 19:43 (19:44 ). There is a wordplay involving “sound … in Tekoa” mentioned in the study note on “destruction” in v. . The Hebrew verb “they will pitch” is from the same root as the word translated “sound” (taqé’u [תִּקְעוּ] here and tiq’u [תִּקְעוּ] in v. ).
