and the wall

"The words wenaphelah chomath hair tachteyha, are literally, ""and the wall of the city shall fall down under itself;"" which appears simply to mean, that the wall shall fall down from its very foundation; which was probably the case in every part, though large breaches in different places might have been amply sufficient first to admit the armed men, after whom the host might enter to destroy the city. There is no ground for the supposition that the walls sunk into the earth. Isa 25:12; Isa 30:25; 2Cr 10:4,5; Hbr 11:30" |
