'Land' in the Bible

This One [the Messiah] shall be our peace.When the Assyrian invades our landAnd tramples on our citadels and in our palaces,Then shall we raise against himSeven shepherds and eight princes [an overpowering force] among men.

They shall devastate the land of Assyria with the sword andThe land of Nimrod within her [own] gates.And He (the Messiah) shall rescue us from the Assyrian (all enemy nations)When he attacks our landAnd when he tramples our territory.

“I will cut off the cities of your landAnd tear down all your fortifications.

“For I brought you up from the land of EgyptAnd ransomed you from the house of slavery,And I sent before you Moses [to lead you], Aaron [the high priest], and Miriam [the prophetess].

Shepherd and rule Your people with Your scepter [of blessing],The flock of Your inheritance and Your possessionWhich dwells alone [separate and secure from attack] in the forest,In the midst of a garden land.Let them feed in Bashan and GileadAs in the days of old [the days of Moses and Elijah].

“As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt,I shall show you marvelous and miraculous things.”
