For so much as ye have not stand by your covenant, I will also go from my promises. I will not expel the Canaanites out of this region as I had promised: & if so be that I do not expel them, ye are so weak and feeble that by your own power, ye can not cast them out. They shall remain therefore as ye would have it, but yet to your great discommodity. For they shall be as pricks in your sides, namely as thorns, where with ye shall be oftentimes sharply pricked. The Hebrew word is Letsdim. And in deed Tsad signifieth a side. Although some think that word to be derived of this verb Tsud, which is to hunt or to fish and because the hooks of fishermen are very sharp, therefore the word is by a certain Metaphor transferred to signify thorns. And after the same sort we might say they signified nets, using the same Metaphor which we may derive of hunters. But the first reason of the interpretation, to signify sides, I sets both simple & also more allowed by the commentaries of the Hebrews.
For so much as ye haue not stande by your couenaunt, I wyll also go from my promises. I will not expell the Chananites out of this region as I had promised: & if so be that I do not expell them, ye are so weake and feble that by your owne power, ye can not cast them out. They shal remayne therfore as ye would haue it, but yet to your great discōmodity. For they shalbe as prickes in your sides, namely as thornes, where with ye shalbe oftentymes sharply pricked. The Hebrew worde is Letsdim. And in dede Tsad signifieth a side. Althoughe some thinke that worde to be deriued of this verbe Tsud, whiche is to hunte or to fishe and bycause the hookes of fishermen are very sharpe, therfore the worde is by a certaine Metaphore transferred to signifie thornes. And after the same sorte we might say they signified nettes, vsing the same Metaphore whiche we may deriue of hunters. But the firste reason of the interpretation, to signifye sides, I sets both simple & also more allowed by the commentaryes of the Hebrues.
And their Idols shall be a snare unto you. Namely wherewith ye shall be taken, and when ye shall be given to their Idolatry, ye shall be punished with most grievous punishments and discommodities. Augustine in his 13.1
