And the lambs shall feed according to their order, and strangers shall eat the deserts turned into fruitfulness.
Ibn Ezra
Then shall the lambs feed, etc. Judah will then be desolate, and lambs will feed therein, as if they were driven to be there. כדברם As if they were driven. Comp. the Chaldee דבר to lead, to drive; and דברת floats (1 Kings 5:25). מחים Strong lambs, that have marrow (מוח) in their bones; comp. ממוחים things full of marrow (25:6). וחרבות And the waste places of; comp. חרבן destruction. It is the construct state; supply הארץ the land; comp. ושכורת And drunken of SORROW. (51:21). משא ח׳ ל׳ = חמר לחם An ass’s LOAD of bread (1 Sam. 16:20). גרים Strangers, that will then dwell there. מחים (Adjective, strong lambs) is the objective case; גרים strangers, the subject.
