10. A new metaphor taken from the vine, the chief of the fruit-bearing trees, as the lion is of the beasts of prey (see :- ). in thy blood —"planted when thou wast in thy blood," that is, in thy very infancy; as in Ezekiel 16:6 , when thou hadst just come from the womb, and hadst not yet the blood washed from thee. The Jews from the first were planted in Canaan to take root there [CALVIN]. GROTIUS translates as the Margin, "in thy quietness," that is, in the period when Judah had not yet fallen into her present troubles. English Version is better. GLASSIUS explains it well, retaining the metaphor, which CALVIN'S explanation breaks, "in the blood of thy grapes," that is, in her full strength, as the red wine is the strength of the grape. Genesis 49:11 is evidently alluded to. many waters —the well-watered land of Canaan ( Genesis 49:11- : ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-11" class="com-number"
