Contextual Overview
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Only rebel: Deuteronomy 9:7, Deuteronomy 9:23, Deuteronomy 9:24, Isaiah 1:2, Isaiah 63:10, Daniel 9:5, Daniel 9:9, Philippians 1:27
neither: Deuteronomy 7:18, Deuteronomy 20:3
are bread: Numbers 24:8, Deuteronomy 32:42, Psalms 14:4, Psalms 74:14
defence: Heb. shadow, Tzillam, a metaphor highly expressive of protection and support in the sultry eastern countries. (See the parallel passages.) The Arabs and Persians use the same word to express the same thing; using the expressions, "May the shadow (zulli) of thy prosperity be extended." "May the shadow of thy prosperity be spread over the heads of thy well-wishers." And in an elegant distich, "May your protection never be removed from my head; may God extend your shadow (zullikem) eternally." The loftiest and most esteemed title of the sultan, says Thornton, because given him by the kings of Persia, is zil ullah, shadow of God. Psalms 91:1, Psalms 121:5, Isaiah 30:2, Isaiah 30:3, Isaiah 32:2, Jeremiah 48:45
the Lord: Genesis 48:21, Exodus 33:16, Deuteronomy 7:21, Deuteronomy 20:1-4, Deuteronomy 31:6, Deuteronomy 31:8, Joshua 1:5, Judges 1:22, 2 Chronicles 13:12, 2 Chronicles 15:2, 2 Chronicles 20:17, 2 Chronicles 32:8, Psalms 46:1, Psalms 46:2, Psalms 46:7, Psalms 46:11, Isaiah 8:9, Isaiah 8:10, Isaiah 41:10, Matthew 1:23, Romans 8:31
fear them not: Isaiah 41:14

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Only rebel not ye against the Lord,.... Nothing, it is suggested, could hinder them from the, possession of it but their rebellion against the Lord; which might provoke him to cut them off by his immediate hand, or to deliver them into the hands of their enemies; for rebellion is a dreadful sin, and highly provoking, 1 Samuel 15:23;
neither fear ye the people the land; on account of their number, strength, the walled cities they dwell in; they had nothing to fear from them, so be it they feared the Lord, and were not disobedient to him:
for they [are] bread for us; as easy to be cut to pieces, and to be devoured, consumed, and destroyed as thoroughly, as bread is when eaten; and their fields, vineyards, all they have without and within, even all their substance, will be a prey to us, and furnish out sufficient provision for us, on which we may pleasantly and plentifully live, as on bread: see Psalms 14:4;
their defence is departed from them; they had no heart nor spirit left in them; no courage to defend themselves, and therefore the strength of their bodies and their walled towns would be of no avail unto them; see Joshua 2:9; or "their shadow" r, which covered and protected them, the providence of God which was over them, and continued them in the land, and quiet possession of it, until the measure of their iniquity was filled up, and the time come for his people Israel to inhabit it; but now it was departed:
and the Lord [is] with us; as was evident by the cloud upon the tabernacle, and by the manna being spread around their camp every morning: the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan are,
"the Word of the Lord is for our help:''
fear them not; the Canaanites, notwithstanding the strength of their bodies, or of their cities, the Lord is mightier than they.
r צ×× "umbra eorum", Montanus, Tigurine version, Fagius, Vatablus; so Junius & Tremellius, Piscator.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Their defense - literally, âtheir shadow,â i. e. their shelter as from the scorching sun: an Oriental figure. Compare the marginal references.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Numbers 14:9. Their defence — צ×× tsillam, their shadow, a metaphor highly expressive of protection and support in the sultry eastern countries. The protection of God is so called; see Psalms 91:1; Psalms 121:5; see also Isaiah 51:16; Isaiah 49:2; Isaiah 30:2.
The Arabs and Persians have the same word to express the same thing. [Persian] nemayeed zulli doulet mamdood bad. "May the shadow of thy prosperity be extended!" [Persian] nemayced zulli doulet ber mufareki khayr khwahen mamdood bad. "May the shadow of thy prosperity be spread over the heads of thy well-wishers!" They have also the following elegant distich: -
[Persian]
[Persian]
Sayahat kem mubad az seri ma
Bast Allah zullikem abeda.
"May thy protection never be removed from my head!
May God extend thy shadow eternally!"
Here the Arabic [Arabic] zull answers exactly to the Hebrew ×¦× tsel, both signifying that which overspreads or overshadows. Numbers 14:14; Numbers 14:14.
