This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
plain mountains ... south - (Jos 15:1-4). The southern border had extended to the river of Egypt, but was now much curtailed by Egyptian invasions (2Ch 35:20; 2Ch 36:3, 2Ch 36:4). The Hebrew for “south” means dry; the arid desert south of Judea is meant. The enumeration of all the parts of Judea, city, country, plain, hill, and desert, implies that no longer shall there be aught wanting of the integrity of the Jewish land (Zec 7:7).
sacrifices - As in Jer 17:22, one constituent of Judea’s prosperity is mentioned, namely, its kings on David’s throne, the pledge of God being its guardian; so in this verse another constituent, namely, its priests, a pledge of God being propitious to it (Psa 107:22).
