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 Jeremiah 37:21; Job 18:17; Isaiah 5:25; and then the country, the fields, pastures, etc.: Job 5:10; Proverbs 8:26. Here it refers to the pastures; the fields; the commons. return to 'Top of Page'
