The Key Word — חָרֵב, he.cha.Revgenerated
The word חָרֵב (chareb) is an adjective meaning 'dry' or 'desolate.' It describes a state of barrenness, often as a consequence of judgment. The root relates to being parched or ruined, emphasizing the lack of life and vitality in the area.
In this verse, it highlights the current state of the land, setting the stage for the promise of future restoration. The desolation is contrasted with the forthcoming abundance of pastures, emphasizing God's ability to transform and renew.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as well as the KJV, ASV, YLT, WEB, and BBE, showing agreement on the key phrases, particularly regarding the desolate state of the land and the promise of pastures for shepherds.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb is אָמַר (amar), meaning 'he says,' which governs the entire statement. The structure is complex, with multiple phrases detailing the conditions of the desolate place and the future promise of pastures.
The sentence begins with the LORD's declaration, followed by a description of the land's current state and concludes with the promise of restoration for shepherds and their flocks.

The Septuagint translates חָרֵב as ἐρήμῳ (erēmō), which also means 'desolate' or 'wilderness.' This choice reinforces the idea of barrenness and aligns with the Hebrew meaning, emphasizing the transformation from desolation to abundance.
The word choice in the Septuagint suggests a continuity of meaning, ensuring that the desolate state is clearly understood in both Hebrew and Greek contexts.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12, 13) Again in this place.—The “place” includes, as in Jeremiah 33:10, “the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem.” The “habitation” for shepherds is translated sometimes by “sheepcote” (1 Chronicles 17:7; 2 Samuel 7:8), sometimes by “fold” (Isaiah 65:10; Ezekiel 34:14), sometimes by “dwelling” or “habitation.” It would seem here to answer to the “towns” of our old English speech, as meaning enclosed spaces, with the tower of the watchman (2 Kings 17:9; Isaiah 1:8), in which, in times of average tranquillity, shepherds and their flocks found shelter, but which were abandoned when the land was overrun by an invading army. In Jeremiah 33:13 the eye of the prophet travels over such…

The genuineness of these vv. may be regarded as questionable; although the fact that the overthrow of Jerusalem is a thing of the past and the land is waste does not prove it to be non-Jeremianic, as the prophet survived the final disaster. The form of the doxology (Jeremiah 33:11), we may note, differs distinctly from that of post-exilic times.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'

Adv — AdvHAcmsa
a-gen': Advb. denoting repetition; in New Testament, generally for palin, "back," "once more." Occasionally, it has the force of a connective, synonymous with "moreover," as in Ro 15:10 ff; 1Co 3:20, etc. The expression "born again" of the King James Version, Joh 3:3,7; 1Pe 1:23, translating the Greek "anothen" and "ana" in composition, becomes in the Revised Version (British and American) "anew," i.e. "over again." As these particles mean "from above" and "up," their use as indicating repetition is sometimes disputed, but without further foundation than that "again" does not exhaust the meaning.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
