Psalms 80:2

Psalms 80:2

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, stir up thy strength,.... Which Christ did in the public ministry of the word, speaking as one having authority, and not as the Scribes and Pharisees; and in the performance of miracles, openly, and in the sight of all; and in his sufferings and death for the salvation of his people; in which he appeared to be the mighty God, travelling in the greatness of his strength, and mighty to save.

These tribes design all Israel, before whom the above things were done; and the allusion is to these three tribes marching immediately after the Kohathites, who carried the ark on their shoulders in journeying, Nu 2:17 which is called the Lord's strength, and the ark of his strength, .

The Targum in the king's Bible reads, to the children of Ephraim, &c.
