Amos 4:1
cows <06510> [ye kine.]
By the "kine of Bashan," some understand the proud, luxurious matrons of Israel; but it is probable the prophet speaks catachrestically, and means the wealthy, effeminate, and profligate rulers and nobles of Samaria.
[the mountains.]
oppress <06231> [which oppress.]
crush <07533> [crush.]
Bring <0935> [Bring.]
Amos 6:1
ease <07600> [to them.]
ease <07600> [at ease. or, secure.]
secure <0982> [and trust.]
<05344> [named.]
best <07225> [chief. or, firstfruits.]
Jeremiah 31:5
plant .......... plant ...... enjoy <05193> [yet.]
hills <02022> [mountains.]
enjoy <02490> [eat. Heb. profane.]
Ezekiel 36:8
grow <05414> [ye shall.]
<07126> [for.]
The Edomites, and other enemies of the Jews, who thought they would soon be in possession of the whole land of Judea, might be assured that the predicted seventy years of the captivity were wearing away, and the time would soon arrive when the Jews would repossess and cultivate their own land, and eat its fruits.
<07126> [at hand.]
Ezekiel 37:22
make <06213> [I will make.]
one ............ one <0259> [and one.]
It is evident that the grand union of Israel and Judah here predicted, and their government under one king, and that king to be David, must still be future; for, politically speaking, they never had a king from that day to this, far less a king or prince of that name. (See on ch. 34:23.)
