Micah 5:6
_ _ waste — literally, “eat up”: following up the metaphor of “shepherds” (compare Numbers 22:4; Jeremiah 6:3).
_ _ land of Nimrod — Babylon (Micah 4:10; Genesis 10:10); or, including Assyria also, to which he extended his borders (Genesis 10:11).
_ _ in the entrances — the passes into Assyria (2 Kings 3:21). The Margin and Jerome, misled by a needless attention to the parallelism, “with the sword,” translate, “with her own naked swords”; as in Psalms 55:21 the Hebrew is translated. But “in the entrances” of Assyria, answers to, “within our borders.” As the Assyrians invade our borders, so shall their own borders or “entrances” be invaded.
_ _ he ... he — Messiah shall deliver us, when the Assyrian shall come. |
Micah 5:6
They — The seven shepherds, and eight principal men, those great instruments of God's revenge, and his church's deliverance. Waste the land — So did Merodach Baladan, king of Babylon. The land of Nimrod — The same with the land of Assyria. The entrance — The fortified frontiers. In this manner shall he, the Messiah, deliver the Jews, his people. The Assyrian — The type of all other enemies, to the people of God. |
Micah 5:6
And they shall waste the (g) land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he (h) deliver [us] from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
(g) These whom God will raise up for the deliverance of his Church, will destroy all the enemies of it, who are meant here by the Assyrians and Babylonians, who were the chief enemies at that time.
(h) By these governors will God deliver us when the enemy comes into our land. |
