Isaia 30:24

24 i buoi e gli asini che lavoran la terra mangeranno foraggi salati, ventilati con la pala e il ventilabro.

Isaia 30:24 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 30:24

The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground,
&c.] Or till it; for though these might not be joined together in a yoke, yet they were made use of separately in ploughing land, ( Deuteronomy 22:10 ) :

shall eat clean provender;
the word for "provender" signifies a mixture, such as cattle eat, especially horses, as beans, oats, barley, and fitches, and of which there should be such plenty, that the cattle should eat of it; not of the chaff and husks of these, nor these in their husk and straw, but as cleansed from them, as follows:

which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan:
with the former of which the corn was raised up and shook, and with the latter fanned. Now this is expressive of great plenty, that cattle should feed on winnowed corn. The Septuagint indeed render it,

``they shall eat chaff mixed with winnowed barley;''

but if they were to eat chaff with it, there would be no need to winnow it. This may be mystically understood of apostles, and of apostolical men, as Jerom; and of all Gospel preachers, especially in the latter day, who labour in the word and doctrine, and feed upon the pure food of the Gospel themselves, and bring it to others; see ( 1 Corinthians 9:9 1 Corinthians 9:10 ) ( 1 Timothy 5:17 1 Timothy 5:18 ) .

Isaia 30:24 In-Context

22 E considererete come cose contaminate le vostre immagini scolpite ricoperte d’argento, e le vostre immagini fuse rivestite d’oro; le getterete vie come una cosa impura, "Fuori di qui" direte loro!

23 Egli ti darà la pioggia per la semenza di cui avrai seminato il suolo, e il pane, che il suolo produrrà saporito ed abbondante; e, in quel giorno, il tuo bestiame pascolerà in vasti pascoli;

24 i buoi e gli asini che lavoran la terra mangeranno foraggi salati, ventilati con la pala e il ventilabro.

25 Sopra ogni alto monte e sopra ogni elevato colle vi saranno ruscelli, acque correnti, nel giorno del gran massacro, quando cadran le torri.

26 La luce della luna sarà come la luce del sole, e la luce del sole sarà sette volte più viva, come la luce di sette giorni assieme, nel giorno che l’Eterno fascerà la ferita del suo popolo e guarirà la piaga da lui fatta con le sue percosse.
