Isaiah 7:25 - Exposition

On all hills that shall be digged ; rather, that shall have been digged in former times, whether for corn cultivation or for any other. There shall not come thither the fear of briers (so Ewald and Kay). But almost all other commentators translate, "Thou shalt not come thither for fear of briers," etc. The briers and thorns of the East tear the clothes and the flesh. It shall be ; i.e. "each such place shall be." For the sending forth of oxen ; rather, for the sending in of oxen . Men shall send their cattle into them, as alone able to penetrate the jungle without hurt.
