Of Bozrah, referring to sheep of the fold (possibly place name Bozrah used as common noun)
This word appears in Micah 2:12, in a prophecy about God gathering the remnant of Israel 'like sheep of Bozrah' (tzon botzrah). BDB identifies the underlying noun as meaning 'enclosure' or 'sheep-fold,' though many translations understand this as the place name Bozrah (a city famous for its flocks in Edom). The ambiguity reflects the wordplay possible in Hebrew: is it sheep 'of Bozrah' the city, or sheep 'of the fold' using a common noun? Either way, the image is pastoral restoration.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Either the proper name Bozrah (an Edomite city known for sheep) or a common noun meaning 'fold/enclosure' in the phrase 'sheep of Bozrah/the fold' (Micah 2:12). The prophet uses sheep imagery to describe God's regathering of Israel. Multilingual translations divide: some render as the place name Bozrah/Bosra (Spanish, French), suggesting the famous pastoral region, while others understand it as 'fold' or 'enclosure.' The ambiguity may be intentional wordplay on Bozrah's reputation for abundant flocks. 1×
