Theological / Devotional

Hooks. Heb. shephattayim, the meaning of which here is doubtful. The word is found only here and in Ps. 68, where it is translated “pots” in the KJV and “sheepfolds” in the RSV, but should be rendered “hearthstones” (see on Ps. 68:13), a meaning that is without significance here. The LXX renders shephattayim “borders.” “Hooks” is the reading of the Targums.
