A hedge, in its literal sense, refers to a fence or boundary made of bushes or thorny plants, serving as protection or a barrier. Metaphorically, it signifies divine protection, separation, or judgment.<br><br><b>Literal Usage</b><br><br>In the agrarian society of ancient Israel, hedges were commonly used to protect vineyards and fields from animals and intruders. <a href="/isaiah/5-5.htm">Isaiah 5:5</a> illustrates this usage: "Now I will tell you what I am about to do to My vineyard: I will remove its hedge, and it will be consumed; I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled." Here, the hedge represents a protective barrier that, when removed, leaves the vineyard vulnerable to destruction.<br><br><b>Metaphorical Usage</b><br><br>1. <b>Divine Protection</b>: The concept of a hedge as divine protection is vividly portrayed in the book of Job. In <a href="/job/1-10.htm">Job 1:10</a> , Satan acknowledges God's protective hedge around Job: "Have You not placed a hedge on every side around him and his household and all that he owns? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land." This passage highlights the belief that God places a spiritual hedge around His faithful, safeguarding them from harm.<br><br>2. <b>Separation and Judgment</b>: Hedges also symbolize separation and divine judgment. In <a href="/ezekiel/13-5.htm">Ezekiel 13:5</a> , the prophets are criticized for failing to stand in the gap or build a hedge for the house of Israel: "You did not go up to the breaches in the wall to repair it for the house of Israel, so that it would stand firm in battle on the day of the LORD." Here, the hedge represents a spiritual barrier that should have been erected to protect the people from impending judgment.<br><br>3. <b>Moral and Spiritual Boundaries</b>: <a href="/proverbs/15-19.htm">Proverbs 15:19</a> uses the imagery of a hedge to describe the path of the sluggard: "The way of the sluggard is like a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway." This metaphor contrasts the difficulties faced by the lazy with the smooth path of the righteous, suggesting that moral and spiritual discipline creates a clear and unobstructed way of life.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The imagery of a hedge in the Bible underscores the importance of divine protection and the consequences of its removal. It serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the need for spiritual vigilance. The hedge as a symbol of protection and separation calls believers to trust in God's providence while maintaining moral and spiritual boundaries in their lives.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Hedge</span><p>The Hebrew words thus rendered denote simply that which surrounds or encloses, whether it be a stone wall, <i>geder</i> , (<a href="/proverbs/24-31.htm">Proverbs 24:31</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/42-10.htm">Ezekiel 42:10</a>) or a fence of other materials.
