Psalms 83:5

3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
And consulted together ^aagainst Your sheltered ones.

4 They have said, “Come, and ^alet us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

5 For they have consulted together with one¹ consent;
They¹ form a confederacy against You:

6 ^aThe tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites;

7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8 Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot. Selah

Psalms 83:5

They have consulted together with one consent - With a united heart, leb yachdav , Their heart and soul are in the work.

They are confederate against thee - " They have made a covenant," berith yachrithu , "they have cut the covenant sacrifice." They have slain an animal, divided him in twain, and passed between the pieces of the victim; and have thus bound themselves to accomplish their purpose.
