This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
know - “Thou shalt rest in the assurance, that thine habitation is the abode of peace; and (if) thou numberest thine herd, thine expectations prove not fallacious” [Umbreit]. “Sin” does not agree with the context. The Hebrew word - “to miss” a mark, said of archers (Jdg 20:16). The Hebrew for “habitation” primarily means “the fold for cattle”; and for “visit,” often to “take an account of, to number.” “Peace” is the common Eastern salutation; including inward and outward prosperity.
