14. With united forces they shall subdue their foes ( Amos 9:12 ). fly —as a bird of prey ( Habakkuk 1:8 ). upon the shoulders —This expresses an attack made unexpectedly on one from behind. The image is the more apt, as the Hebrew for "shoulders" in Numbers 34:11 is used also of a maritime coast ("side of the sea": Hebrew, "shoulder of the sea," Margin ). They shall make a sudden victorious descent upon their borders southwest of Judea. them of the east — Hebrew, "children of the East," the Arabs, who, always hostile, are not to be reduced under regular government, but are only to be despoiled ( Jeremiah 49:28 ; Jeremiah 49:29 ). lay . . . hand upon —take possession of ( Daniel 11:42 ). Edom —south of Judah, from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea; "Moab"—east of Jordan and the Dead Sea. Ammon —east of Judea, north of Moab, between the Arnon and Jabbok. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-15" class="com-number"
