Commentary on Psalms 122:3

Theological / Devotional

Compact. Heb. chabar, “to be united,” “to be joined with”; the corresponding Hebrew noun, chaber, means “companion” or “fellow.” Some see in this an allusion to the gathering of God’s people for spiritual fellowship. The idea of fellowship is more definitely expressed in the LXX, which here may be translated, “Jerusalem is built as a city, whose fellowship [Gk. metoche] is together.”
