A prayer at the removing of the ark4. An exhortation to praise God for his mercies 7. for his care of the church 19. for his great works Even while you sleep among the sheepfolds This phrase evokes imagery of rest and peace, even in humble or mundane circumstances. The Hebrew word for "sheepfolds" is "mishpĕthayim," which refers to the enclosures or pens where sheep are kept. Historically, sheepfolds were simple structures, often made of stone or wood, providing protection for the flock. The mention of sleeping among them suggests a state of tranquility and security, even in the midst of simplicity. Spiritually, this can be seen as a metaphor for God's provision and care, where believers find rest and safety under His watchful eye, regardless of their external circumstances. the wings of the dove are covered with silver and her feathers with shimmering gold "Why rest ye among the sheepfolds?" "A dove's wings are (now) covered with silver, and her feathers with the sheen of gold." "When the Almighty scattered kings there, It was snowing on Tsalmon." Even in our ignorance of these allusions we at once recognise in the first member of this antique verse the scornful inquiry of Judges 5:16, addressed to the inglorious tribe that preferred ease at home to the dangers and discomforts of battle. The word here rendered "sheepfolds" (in the Authorised Version pots, a meaning which cannot represent the Hebrew word or its cognates in any other place) is cognate to that used in Judges 5:16, and occurs in its present form in Ezekiel 40:43, where the margin renders, "andirons, or two hearthstones." The derivation from to set would allow of its application to any kind of barrier. . . . Verse 13. - Though ye have lien among the pots; rather, Will ye lie down among the sheepfolds? Will ye, O ye laggarts of Israel, like the Reubenites in the war against Sisera, instead of going out to war with your brethren, "abide among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks" (see Judges 5:16)? Yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. It is certainly wrong to supply, yet shall ye be before as the wings of a dove." There can be no promise of good made to these laggarts. Probably the meaning is, "Will ye be," or "Will ye seek to be as the wings of a dove, covered with silver, and her feathers of yellow gold?" i.e. Will ye abide in your prosperity and your riches, decked in gorgeous apparel, resplendent with silver and gold, while your brethren are bearing the brunt of battle, with all its ghastly sights and sounds, in your and the land's defence?Parallel Commentaries ...
