כִּי־כֹ֛ה אָמַ֥ר אֲדֹנָ֖י אֵלָ֑י בְּע֤וֹד שָׁנָה֙ כִּשְׁנֵ֣י שָׂכִ֔יר וְכָלָ֖ה כָּל־כְּב֥וֹד קֵדָֽר׃
Sebab beginilah firman Tuhan kepadaku: “Dalam waktu satu tahun lagi, menurut tahun-tahun seorang pekerja upahan, lenyaplah segala kemegahan Kedar.”
Rashi
like the year of a hireling I will be exact with them to limit the time like a hireling, hired by years, who is exact with the time of the completion of his year.
Ibn Ezra
For thus hath the Lord said unto me, etc., because of this sin, that they did not show kindness; comp. because they did not prevent you, etc. (Deut. 23:5.)
Ibn Ezra
Within a year, according to the years of an hireling. That is, within a year, that will seem to be as long as the year of an hireling.30The tertium comparationis is usually found in the circumstance that the hireling does not prolong his work beyond the time agreed upon, and the time granted to Moab will also not be protracted over three years. As to the opinion of I. E. comp. his remarks on 16:14.
