Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field
This phrase suggests a divine promise of protection and harmony with nature. In biblical times, a covenant was a solemn agreement, often involving God and His people. The idea of a covenant with the stones implies stability and security in one's environment. In the ancient Near East, stones were often used as boundary markers or altars, symbolizing permanence and divine witness. This covenant can be seen as a metaphor for God's provision and protection over the land, ensuring that the natural world will not be a source of harm. It echoes the peace and restoration themes found inIsaiah 11:6-9, where creation is depicted in harmony.

and the wild animals will be at peace with you
This phrase indicates a reversal of the curse found inGenesis 3, where enmity between humans and nature was introduced. The peace with wild animals signifies a return to the pre-fall state of harmony between humanity and creation. In the cultural context of the ancient world, wild animals were often seen as threats to human life and livelihood. This promise of peace suggests divine intervention to remove fear and danger from one's surroundings. It also foreshadows the messianic kingdom described inIsaiah 65:25, where the wolf and the lamb will feed together, symbolizing the ultimate reconciliation and peace brought by the Messiah.

Lists and Questions

Top 10 Lessons from Job 5

What was the purpose of Solomon's Temple?

Deuteronomy 5:2-3 says the covenant was made with the present generation, yet other passages imply it was made with their ancestors; how do we reconcile this?

Numbers 23:1-2: Is there any archaeological evidence supporting Balaam's elaborate sacrifices on seven altars with seven bulls and seven rams?

Why does Deuteronomy 27:4 specify Mount Ebal for the altar instead of Mount Gerizim, and is there any historical or textual contradiction behind this location?

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(23)For thou shalt be in league.--Literally,for with the stones of the field shall thy covenant be, and the beasts of the field shall be made to be at peace with thee.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 23. -For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field;i.e. there shall be peace between thee and all the rest of God's creation, even "the stones of the field," against which thou shalt not dash thy foot (Psalm 91:12); and if the senseless stones am thus in league with thee, and refrain from doing thee hurt, much more mayest thou be sure thatthe beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. For they are not altogether senseless, and will in some sort understand that thou art under God's protection, and not to be molested by them (comp.Hosea 2:18, where God promises to make a covenant between his people and "the beasts of the field, the fowls of heaven, and the creeping things of the ground," that so they may "lie down safely "). A misplaced ingenuity seeks to find either six or seven forms of calamity in the enumeration of vers. 20-23; but there appear to be really only five:

(1) famine;

(2) war;

(3) calumny; . . .
