And they shall be broken, etc. "Her stores" - shathotheyha , , granaries. - Aquila.
All that make sluices and ponds for fish "All that make a gain of pools for fish" - This obscure line is rendered by different interpreters in very different manners. Kimchi explains agmey as if it were the same with agemah , from Job 30:25, in which he is followed by some of the rabbins, and supported by the Septuagint: and secher , which I translate gain, and which some take for nets or enclosures, the Septuagint render by , strong drink or beer, which it is well known was much used in Egypt; and so likewise the Syriac, retaining the Hebrew word sekra . I submit these very different interpretations to the reader' s judgment. The Version of the Septuagint is as follows:
̔ , · "And all they that make barley wine shall mourn, and be grieved in soul."
