Theological / Devotional

Samaria. The capital of the northern kingdom of Israel is mentioned to indicate that some who belonged to the ten tribes would also be returned from exile.

Shall eat them as common things. Literally, “they will profane,” or “they will begin to use”; “shall enjoy the fruit” (RSV). Possibly there is an allusion to the regulation referred to in Lev. 19:23-25.
