32. passages are stopped —The guarded fords of the Euphrates are occupied by the enemy (see on :- ). reeds . . . burned —literally, "the marsh." After draining off the river, Cyrus "burned" the stockade of dense tree-like " reeds " on its banks, forming the outworks of the city's fortifications. The burning of these would give the appearance of the marsh or river itself being on "fire." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-33" class="com-number"
