- in their:
- Heb. on their heap, The Vulgate, Syriac, Onkelos and Waterland render âl tillom, "on their hills." As the cities of the plain might be easily attacked and carried, Joshua destroyed them; but as those on mountains, hills, or other eminences, might be retained by him with little trouble, prudence would dictate their preservation. "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Behold,¹ I will bring againª° the captivityª of Jacob'sª tents,ª and have mercyª° on his dwellingplaces;ª and the cityª shall be buildedª° upon¹ her own heap,ª and the palaceª shall remainª° after¹ the mannerª thereof." {Jer 30:18}
