Theological / DevotionalWe heard of it. An abrupt transition of thought to the unhoused ark.
Ephratah. The meaning of this poetical passage is obscure. Some see in “Ephratah” a reference to Bethlehem, since Ephratah was the ancient name of that city (see on Gen. 35:19). Others see a reference to Kirjath-jearim (1 Chron. 2:24, 50), where the ark was for 20 years (1 Sam. 7:2).
Wood. Heb. ya‘ar, which should probably be rendered as a proper name, Jaar (see RSV), which, in turn, is probably a shortened form of Kirjath-jearim, Heb. Qiryath Ye‘arim.
