21. there —namely, in Jerusalem. will be . . . rivers —Jehovah will be as a broad river surrounding our city (compare Isaiah 19:6 ; Nahum 3:8 ), and this, too, a river of such a kind as no ship of war can pass (compare Nahum 3:8- : ). Jerusalem had not the advantage of a river; Jehovah will be as one to it, affording all the advantages, without any of the disadvantages of one. galley with oars —war vessels of a long shape, and propelled by oars; merchant vessels were broader and carried sail. gallant —same Hebrew word as for "glorious," previously; "mighty" will suit both places; a ship of war is meant. No "mighty vessel" will dare to pass where the "mighty Lord" stands as our defense. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-22" class="com-number"
