Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
That our garners may be full - That our fields may yield abundance, so that our granaries may be always filled.
Affording all manner of store - Margin, "From kind to kind." Hebrew, "From sort to sort;" that is, every sort or kind of produce or grain; all, in variety, that is needful for the supply of man and beast.
That our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets - A great part of the wealth of Palestine always consisted in flocks of sheep; and, from the earliest periods, not a few of the inhabitants were shepherds. This language, therefore, is used to denote national prosperity.
In our streets - The Hebrew word used here means properly whatever is outside; what is out of doors or abroad, as opposed to what is within, as the inside of a house; and then, what is outside of a town, as opposed to what is within. It may, therefore, mean a street Jer 37:21; Job 18:17; Isa 5:25; and then the country, the fields, pastures, etc.: Job 5:10; Pro 8:26. Here it refers to the pastures; the fields; the commons. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
That our garners, etc. - Our garners are full. These are not prayers put up by David for such blessings: but assertions, that such blessings were actually in possession. All these expressions should be understood in the present tense.
Ten thousands in our streets - בחצתינו bechutsotheynu should be translated in our pens or sheep-walks; for sheep bringing forth in the streets of cities or towns is absurd. |
26 While as yet he had not made [06213] the earth [0776], nor the fields [02351], nor the highest part [07218] of the dust [06083] of the world [08398].
10 Who giveth [05414] rain [04306] upon [06440] the earth [0776], and sendeth [07971] waters [04325] upon [06440] the fields [02351]:
25 Therefore is the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] kindled [02734] against his people [05971], and he hath stretched forth [05186] his hand [03027] against them, and hath smitten [05221] them: and the hills [02022] did tremble [07264], and their carcases [05038] were torn [05478] in the midst [07130] of the streets [02351]. For all this his anger [0639] is not turned away [07725], but his hand [03027] is stretched out [05186] still.
17 His remembrance [02143] shall perish [06] from the earth [0776], and he shall have no name [08034] in the street [06440] [02351].
21 Then Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] commanded [06680] that they should commit [06485] Jeremiah [03414] into the court [02691] of the prison [04307], and that they should give [05414] him daily [03117] a piece [03603] of bread [03899] out of the bakers [0644] ' street [02351], until all the bread [03899] in the city [05892] were spent [08552]. Thus Jeremiah [03414] remained [03427] in the court [02691] of the prison [04307].
