(6) A nation.--It was not uncommon with Hebrew writers to apply the name people or folk to animals, as, "The ants are a people not strong;" "The conies are but a feeble folk" (Proverbs 30:25-26); but the word used by Joel is different from that in the Proverbs. He selected a word indicative of foreign nations, suggestive of attack, including both the irrational invader and the foreign conqueror. The surpassing strength of the nation is indicated by the extraordinary power of the locust's teeth, compared to that of the lion's jaws. The same comparison is made by St. John (Revelation 9:8): "Their teeth (the locusts) were as the teeth of lions."Verse 6. - For a nation is come up upon my land, strong and without number. The loss of the wine and of the sweet juice of the grape would be a source of genuine sorrow to the drinkers of wine; that loss would be occasioned by the destruction of the vines. In this and the following verse the prophet explains the instrumentality by which that destruction would be brought about. The prophet, fully identifying himself with his countrymen, speaking in their name and as their representative, says "my land." Kimchi understands the suffix to "land," like "my vine" and "my fig tree" in the next verse, as referring either to the prophet himself or to the people of the land; while some refer it to Jehovah, the great Proprietor, who had given the land to his people for their inheritance while they observed his covenant and obeyed his commandments. The locusts ore called a nation, just as the "ants are a people not strong," and the "conies are" said to be "but a feeble folk." Kimchi lays that "every collection of living things is called a nation (qoy); accordingly the prophet applies 'nation' to the locust." Nor deem the weed "nation" thus applied support the allegorical sense any more than the Homeric - "Even as go the swarms [literally nations] Hebrew Forכִּֽי־ (kî-) Conjunction Strong's 3588: A relative conjunction a nation גוֹי֙ (ḡō·w) Noun - masculine singular Strong's 1471: A foreign nation, a Gentile, a troop of animals, a flight of locusts has invaded עָלָ֣ה (‘ā·lāh) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular Strong's 5927: To ascend, in, actively My land, אַרְצִ֔י (’ar·ṣî) Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singular Strong's 776: Earth, land powerful עָצ֖וּם (‘ā·ṣūm) Adjective - masculine singular Strong's 6099: Powerful, numerous and without וְאֵ֣ין (wə·’ên) Conjunctive waw | Adverb Strong's 369: A non-entity, a negative particle number; מִסְפָּ֑ר (mis·pār) Noun - masculine singular Strong's 4557: A number, definite, indefinite, narration its teeth שִׁנָּיו֙ (šin·nāw) Noun - cdc | third person masculine singular Strong's 8127: A tooth, ivory, a cliff are [those] שִׁנֵּ֣י (šin·nê) Noun - cdc Strong's 8127: A tooth, ivory, a cliff of a lion, אַרְיֵ֔ה (’ar·yêh) Noun - masculine singular Strong's 738: A lion and its fangs וּֽמְתַלְּע֥וֹת (ū·mə·ṯal·lə·‘ō·wṯ) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine plural construct Strong's 4973: A biter, a tooth [are those] of a lioness. לָבִ֖יא (lā·ḇî) Noun - masculine singular Strong's 3833: To roar, a lion, Links Joel 1:6 NIVJoel 1:6 NLT Joel 1:6 ESV Joel 1:6 NASB Joel 1:6 KJV Joel 1:6 BibleApps.com Joel 1:6 Biblia Paralela Joel 1:6 Chinese Bible Joel 1:6 French Bible Joel 1:6 Catholic Bible OT Prophets: Joel 1:6 For a nation has come up (Jl Joe.) |
