Commentary on Micah 5:6

Theological / Devotional

Waste. Hebrew ra‘ah, “to shepherd,” “to tend,” “to feed,” in an adapted sense “to rule” (see RSV). Israel was to “rule” its enemies with the “sword.”

Nimrod. Here used as a synonym for Assyria. Nimrod comes from the root marad, “to rebel.” On Nimrod see on Genesis 10:8-10.
