Verse 14
Feed, &c. Note here, the prayer of Micah. Supply the Ellip sis: "[Then Micah prayed, and said: O Jehovah] Feed Thy People", &c.
Feed = shepherd Thou (masc).
rod. Hebrew. shebet, as in Micah 5:1 ; not as in Micah 6:9 . Here it is the token of rule.
which dwell, &c. = dwell thou (feminine): i.e. the "flock". Hebrew. tz'on (com. gender).
solitarily = alone. Reference to Pentateuch (Numbers 23:9 . Deuteronomy 33:28 ). App-92 .
as in the days of old = as in the age-past times: so shall be the yet future day of Israel's consolation; not Micah's day, when Israel was in possession of Bashan, &c. No ground, therefore, for dating this prayer in "the latest period of Israel's history, the days of Haggai and Zechariah", as alleged.
