Fence

VIEW:41 DATA:01-04-2020
FENCE.—Psa_62:3 is the only occurrence of the subst., and probably the word there has its modern meaning (Coverdale ‘hedge’). But the participle ‘fenced’ (used of a city) always means ‘fortified’ (which Amer. RV [Note: Revised Version.] always substitutes). See Fortification.

2Sa_23:7 (a) We are informed by this type that many wicked men are so dangerous, so strong, and so resourceful in their evil that those who approach them need to be well guarded lest they be greatly injured. This is certainly true of many of our great underworld characters.

Job_10:11 (a) Because of Job's great troubles, trials and suffering, he wanted to die. He was not able to die, and so he describes the limitations of his body by this figure.

Job_19:8 (a) Job felt that his hope of escape could not be found. All his resources were gone, his friends failed him, his health had departed, and he was left alone. He describes these experiences as being a fence which held him to his ash pile.

Psa_62:3 (a) There is some irony in this Scripture and some misery with it. David asks his enemies whether they regard him as a bowing wall or a tottering fence which they can easily destroy. He reminds them that this is not true, and that GOD will destroy them instead of they destroying him.

Isa_5:2 (a) This figure represents the protection that GOD gave to Israel when he brought them into the land of Canaan and put His fear upon the nations round about so that they could develop themselves into a mighty kingdom. Instead of appreciating this wonderful protection, they discarded His care, and became followers of the idolatry of the neighboring nations.

Jer_15:20 (a) GOD assured Jeremiah that when he stood as a warning against Israel and reproved them for their sins, he would be fully protected and preserved by the GOD who sent him on this mission.

Fence
(Psa_62:3), גָּדֵר, gader', a wall (q.v.) rather than hedge (as elsewhere generally rendered). The Hebrews use two terms to denote a fence of different kinds: נָּדֵר, goder', or גְּדֵרָה, gederah', and מְשׂוּכָה, mesukah'. According to Vitringa, the latter denotes the outer thorny fence of the vineyard, and the former the inner wall of stones surrounding it. The chief use of the former was to keep off men, and of the latter to keep off beasts, not only from gardens, vineyards, etc., but also from the flocks at night (see Pro_15:19; Pro_24:31). SEE HEDGE. From this root the Phoenicians called any enclosed place guddir, and particularly gave this name to their settlement in the south-western coast of Spain, which the Greeks from them called Γάθειρα, the Romans Gades, and the moderns Cadiz. SEE GEDERAH. In Eze_13:5; Eze_22:30 gader appears to denote the fortifications of a city; and in Psa_62:3, the wicked are compared to a tottering fence and bowing wall; i.e. their destruction comes suddenly upon them. Fenced cities (see below) were such as were fortified. SEE AGRICULTURE.
