Geremia 49:29

29 Essi se ne torranno via le lor tende, e le lor gregge; se ne porteran via i lor teli, e tutti i loro arnesi, e ne meneranno i lor cammelli; e d’ogn’intorno daranno contro a loro gridi di spavento.

Geremia 49:29 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 49:29

Their tents and their flocks shall they take away
The Kedarenes were a people whose business chiefly lay in feeding flocks, and of which their substance consisted; and they mostly dwelt in tents, which they removed from place to place, for the sake of pasturage for their flocks; hence they were sometimes called Scenites, and sometimes Nomades; see ( Psalms 120:5 ) ( Song of Solomon 1:5 ) ; but now both their habitations, such as they were, and their flocks too, wherein lay their riches, would be taken away from them: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels,
and their camels;
their curtains made of skins of beasts, of which their tents were made; or with which they were covered to protect them from the inclemencies of the weather; and all the furniture of them, their household goods; their vessels for domestic use; and utensils for their calling and employment; and their camels, which were much used in those countries for travelling from place to place; on which they put their tents, curtains, and vessels, when they removed from one pasturage to another; these they, not the Kedarenes, should take to themselves, and flee with them; but the Chaldeans should seize on them for themselves, as their booty and prey: and they shall cry unto them, fear [is] on every side;
or, "magormissabib", "a fear all round", ( Jeremiah 20:3 ) ; this is the word the Chaldeans shall use, and with it frighten the Kedarenes out of their tents; or by the sound of their trumpets, the alarm of war, and by their shouts and cries, and the clashing of their arms, they shall put them in fear all around: or else the Kedarenes and Hazorites, when they shall see the Chaldean army approaching, shall say one to another, fear is on all sides of us; nothing but ruin and destruction attend us from every quarter.

Geremia 49:29 In-Context

27 Ed io accenderò un fuoco nelle mura di Damasco, che consumerà i palazzi di Ben-hadad.

28 QUANT’è a Chedar, ed a’ regni di Hasor, i quali Nebucadnesar, re di Babilonia, percosse, il Signore ha detto così: Levatevi, salite contro a Chedar, e guastate gli Orientali.

29 Essi se ne torranno via le lor tende, e le lor gregge; se ne porteran via i lor teli, e tutti i loro arnesi, e ne meneranno i lor cammelli; e d’ogn’intorno daranno contro a loro gridi di spavento.

30 Fuggite, dileguatevi ben lungi; riducetevi in luoghi segreti e profondi, per dimorarvi, o abitanti di Hasor, dice il Signore; perciocchè Nebucadnesar, re di Babilonia, ha preso un consiglio contro a voi, ed ha divisato contro a voi un pensiero.

31 Levatevi, salite contro alla nazione pacifica, che abita in sicurtà, dice il Signore; ella non ha nè porte, nè sbarre; abitano in disparte.
