maketh . . . borders--or, territories (Gen 23:17; Isa 54:12).
filleth thee, &c.--(Compare Margin). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
He maketh peace in thy borders - Margin, he maketh thy border peace. The word border here refers to a boundary, and stands for all the domain or territory included within the boundaries of a country. The idea is that peace prevailed throughout the land.
And filleth thee with the finest of the wheat - Margin, as in Hebrew, fat of wheat. Literally, "He satisfies thee with the fat of wheat." There is no want of wheat, and that of the best kind. Compare the notes at Psa 132:15 : "I will satisfy her poor with bread." |

| Borders - In all thy land, even to its utmost borders. |

| He maketh peace - They were now no longer troubled with the Samaritans, Moabites, etc. |
12 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.
17 And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure
15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
