He hath changed the portion— He hath alienated, or transferred the portion of my people. How hath he departed from me, to bring again him who divided our fields! But Houbigant renders it, The patrimony of my people is measured by line, and no one hath stirred himself to turn it [the line] from me; it hath divided our fields: that is to say, "No one hath prohibited the enemy from dividing our fields among them." The next verse confirms this interpretation Therefore there shall be no one, who, casting lots, shall extend a line for thee, in the congregation of the Lord. The Assyrians had ravaged Israel and Judah before their final destruction. See Exodus 15:29; 2 Kings 18:13.
