# They will be like the watchmen of a cultivated field against her all around
Carefully guarding a city to keep people from going in and out is spoken of as if they are carefully watching a field to keep people from stealing from it. Alternate translation: "they will guard Jerusalem carefully like watchmen who carefully guard a cultivated field" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])
"they will guard Jerusalem carefully like watchmen who carefully guard a cultivated field"
# against her all around
The word "her" refers to Jerusalem. Jerusalem was often spoken of as if it were a woman. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-personification]])
