Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) Shall come unto her.--Better, Unto it (sc., the pasture) shall come shepherds with their flocks--i.e., the leaders and the armies of the invaders. The other verbs are in the past tense, the future being seen, as it were realised, They have pitched, they have pastured.Every one in his place.--Literally, each on his hand, or perhaps, "they shall feed, each his hand," i.e., shall let it rove in plunder at will by the side of his own tent. The work of plunder was to go on everywhere. The imagery is drawn from the attack of a nomadic tribe on a richly-cultivated plain.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewShepherdsרֹעִ֖ים (rō·‘îm)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine pluralStrong's 7462: To tend a, flock, pasture it, in, to graze, to rule, to associate withand their flocksוְעֶדְרֵיהֶ֑ם (wə·‘eḏ·rê·hem)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 5739: An arrangement, musterwill comeיָבֹ֥אוּ (yā·ḇō·’ū)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 935: To come in, come, go in, goagainst her;אֵלֶ֛יהָ (’ê·le·hā)Preposition | third person feminine singularStrong's 413: Near, with, among, tothey will pitchתָּקְע֨וּ (tā·qə·‘ū)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common pluralStrong's 8628: To clatter, slap, clang, to drive, to become bondsmantheir tentsאֹהָלִים֙ (’ō·hā·lîm)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 168: A tentall around her,סָבִ֔יב (sā·ḇîḇ)AdverbStrong's 5439: A circle, neighbour, environs, aroundeachאִ֥ישׁ (’îš)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male persontending his own portion:יָדֽוֹ׃ (yā·ḏōw)Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 3027: A handJump to PreviousBare Droves Fed Feed Flocks Food Hand Keepers Nigh Pasture Pitch Portion Round Sheep Shepherds Side Station Stricken Tending Tents
