Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) The corn is withered.--The results of the terrible drought, coincident with the ravages of the locusts, are now described. The ancient versions present difficulty and variety in the exact rendering of this verse, owing to several words occurring in it being not found elsewhere in Holy Scripture. On the whole the English text seems correct and satisfactory.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThe seedsפְרֻד֗וֹת (p̄ə·ru·ḏō·wṯ)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 6507: Something separated, a kernellie shriveledעָבְשׁ֣וּ (‘ā·ḇə·šū)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common pluralStrong's 5685: To shrivelbeneathתַּ֚חַת (ta·ḥaṯ)PrepositionStrong's 8478: The bottom, below, in lieu ofthe clods;מֶגְרְפֹ֣תֵיהֶ֔ם (meḡ·rə·p̄ō·ṯê·hem)Noun - feminine plural construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 4053: Something thrown off, a clodthe storehousesאֹֽצָר֔וֹת (’ō·ṣā·rō·wṯ)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 214: Treasure, store, a treasury, storehouseare in ruins;נָשַׁ֙מּוּ֙ (nā·šam·mū)Verb - Nifal - Perfect - third person common pluralStrong's 8074: To stun, devastate, stupefythe granariesמַמְּגֻר֑וֹת (mam·mə·ḡu·rō·wṯ)Noun - feminine pluralStrong's 4460: Granary, storehouseare broken down,נֶהֶרְס֖וּ (ne·her·sū)Verb - Nifal - Perfect - third person common pluralStrong's 2040: To pull down, in pieces, break, & destroyforכִּ֥י (kî)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctionthe grainדָּגָֽן׃ (dā·ḡān)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1715: Corn, grain (of cereals)has withered away.הֹבִ֖ישׁ (hō·ḇîš)Verb - Hifil - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 3001: To be ashamed, confused, disappointed, to dry up, witherJump to PreviousBarns Beneath Broken Clods Corn Desolate Dried Dry Failed Garners Grain Grains Granaries Hoes Laid Perished Rot Rotten Ruined Seed Seeds Shrivel Shriveled Small Spade Storehouses Store-Houses Torn Waste Withered
