以賽亞書 30:23-26
現代中文譯本(2019)
23 你們撒種的時候,上主要降雨,使種子生長,而且使你們豐收;你們的牛群會有寬廣的草原。
24 替你們耕犁的牛和驢會有最好的飼料。
25 你們的敵人被屠殺,他們的堡壘倒塌的時候,你們的大山小山都要湧出泉水。
26 月亮要像太陽那樣光亮;太陽的光要比以前明亮七倍,好像七天的光在一天放射出來。在上主包紮他子民傷口、醫治他們鞭傷時,這些事都要發生。
ESV
23 And he will give rain for the seed with which you sow the ground, and bread, the produce of the ground, which will be rich and plenteous. In that day your livestock will graze in large pastures,
24 and the oxen and the donkeys that work the ground will eat seasoned fodder, which has been winnowed with shovel and fork.
25 And on every lofty mountain and every high hill there will be brooks running with water, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26 Moreover, the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day when the LORD binds up the brokenness of his people, and heals the wounds inflicted by his blow.
《舊約-聖經背景註釋》
用木杴和杈子揚起的飼料
因為百姓重新歸順盟約,連動物也享受到神的豐盛。動物的飼料一般是打谷剩下的谷皮。有一個常用的「飼料」,這個字的意思是「碎草」,是跟大麥混在一起的料。但是這里卻是特別以木匙與叉子準備的雞豆喂動物。這兩種用具都可以用來把谷粒與谷皮分開,並且堆起來。
