Verse 10. The land of uprightness. Mishor is the name for the smooth upland downs of Moab ( Deuteronomy 3:10 Joshua 13:17 20:8 Jeremiah 48:8 Jeremiah 48:21 ). Derived from the root "yashar", "even, level plain", it naturally came to be used figuratively for equity, right, righteous, and uprightness. Malachi 2:6 Isaiah 11:4 Psalms 45:7 67:5 143:10. --Cunningham Geikie, in "Hours with the Bible", 1884.
Verse 10. The land of uprightness. The land of plainness, a land where no wickedness of men, and malice of Satan, vex the soul from day to day; a land where no rough paths and crooked turns lengthen out the traveller's weary journey (see Psalms 143:5 ); but where all is like the smooth pasture lands of Reuben ( Deuteronomy 3:10 Joshua 13:9 ), a fit place for flocks to lie down. --Andrew A. Bonar.
