12 Erhebet das Panier gegen die Mauern von Babel hin, verschärfet die Bewachung (O. die Belagerung,) stellet Wächter auf, bereitet die Hinterhalte! denn wie Jehova es sich vorgenommen, also führt er aus, was er über die Bewohner von Babel geredet hat.

Commentary

 

Heap

  

'To heap together,' as mentioned in Genesis 41:49, denotes multiplying. 'A heap,' as mentioned in Genesis 31:40, signifies good, because in the past, before they built altars, the ancients made heaps and ate together upon them as a testimony that they were joined together in love.
