Jeremiah 33:13 New English Translation
13 I, the Lord, say that shepherds will once again count their sheep as they pass into the fold.[a] They will do this in all the towns in the hill country, the foothills,[b] the Negev,[c] the territory of Benjamin, the villages surrounding Jerusalem, and the towns of Judah.’[d]

- Jeremiah 33:13 sn Heb “Sheep will again pass under the hands of the counter.” This appears to be a reference to counting the sheep to make sure that none was missing as they returned to the fold. See the same idiom in Lev 27:32 and in the metaphor in Ezek 20:37.
- Jeremiah 33:13 tn The foothills (שְׁפֵלָה, shephelah) are the transition region between the hill country and the coastal plains.
- Jeremiah 33:13 sn The Negev is the area of central, southern Judah, south of the hill country and Beer Sheba and west of the rift valley.
- Jeremiah 33:13 sn Cf. Jer 32:44.
