Mine: Or rather, as the learned Bochart renders, "Is then my heritage - peopleto me as a fierce hyena? Is there a wild beast all around upon her?" i.e., the land of Canaan. The hyena is a kind of wolf, a little bigger than a mastiff; colour grey, streaked with black: it is of a solitary and savage disposition.

come: or, cause them to come
Reciprocal: Eze 34:5 - and they became Hos 13:8 - wild beast
