20
Zodat van Mijn aangezicht beven zullen de vissen der zee, en het gevogelte des hemels, en het gedierte des velds, en al het kruipend gedierte, dat op het aardrijk kruipt, en alle mensen, die op den aardbodem zijn; en de bergen zullen nedergeworpen worden, en de steile plaatsen zullen nedervallen, en alle muren zullen ter aarde nedervallen.
Generally in the Bible a "country" means a political subdivision ruled by a king, or sometimes a tribe with a territory ruled by a king or chieftain. Others are what we now call city-states, with surrounding farm areas. In almost all cases these countries were far smaller than our modern idea of countries, though Egypt and Assyria would be exceptions. Sometimes the word is used to refer to countryside, a wide area with no consideration of boundaries as when the twelve Israelites were sent to spy out the country.
