以賽亞書 21:13 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 21:13

The burden upon Arabia
Which lay heavy upon it, as a burden upon a beast; or "concerning" it, or "against" it, as Kimchi notes; which Arabia, or what part thereof, is meant, may be gathered from the names after mentioned. The Targum is,

``the burden of the cup of cursing, to give the Arabians to drink.''

Ben Melech says, these are the Arabians that dwell in the wilderness: in the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge;
not in their tents and huts, which they had used to carry with them, and set up where they pleased; since now in their fright and flight they would leave them behind them, and so be obliged to take up their lodging in woods and forests; perhaps the desert of Arabia Petraea is meant: O ye travelling companies of Dedanim;
or Dedanites; these were Arabians that descended from Jokshan, a son of Abraham by Keturah, ( Genesis 25:3 ) who were either shepherds, who went in companies together with their flocks, and moved from place to place for the sake of pasture; or rather were merchants, who went in caravans and troops with their merchandise from one country to another; see ( Ezekiel 27:15 Ezekiel 27:20 ) and who, because of the ravages of the enemy, would be glad of a lodging in the woods for security.

以賽亞書 21:13 In-Context

11 論 度 瑪 的 默 示 ： 有 人 聲 從 西 珥 呼 問 我 說 ： 守 望 的 啊 ， 夜 裡 如 何 ？ 守 望 的 啊 ， 夜 裡 如 何 ？

12 守 望 的 說 ： 早 晨 將 到 ， 黑 夜 也 來 。 你 們 若 要 問 就 可 以 問 ， 可 以 回 頭 再 來 。

13 論 亞 拉 伯 的 默 示 ： 底 但 結 伴 的 客 旅 啊 ， 你 們 必 在 亞 拉 伯 的 樹 林 中 住 宿 。

14 提 瑪 地 的 居 民 拿 水 來 ， 送 給 口 渴 的 ， 拿 餅 來 迎 接 逃 避 的 。

15 因 為 他 們 逃 避 刀 劍 和 出 了 鞘 的 刀 ， 並 上 了 弦 的 弓 與 刀 兵 的 重 災 。
