* the stocks.
{Hammahpecheth,} from {haphach,} "to overturn, subvert,
distort," generally denotes an overthrow, (De 29:22. Isa 1:7;
10:19,) and seems to signify here a sort of stocks, by which
the limbs were distorted into uneasy postures. So the
Chaldee, {keephtha} and Jerome, {nervus,} which he explains in
his comment as "a kind of wooden fetter, into which the feet
were thrust, {vinculi lignei genus, cui pedes inseruntur.}
Some learned men understand it as merely signifying a place of
confinement, or house of correction; but the word is never
used for any of the prisons into which the prophet was
afterwards cast; and the punishment seems to have been public
and ignominious.
* in the high.
