12. wilderness--places, though not inhabited by men, fit for pasture
(Le 16:21, 22;
Job 24:5).
pastures--is literally, "folds," or "enclosures for flocks"; and in
Ps 65:13
it may be "lambs," the same word used and so translated in
Ps 37:20;
so that "the flocks are clothed with lambs" (a figure for abundant
increase) would be the form of expression.
