Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1898)
HEDGE, Hos 2:6. Travellers tell us that such hedges as are mentioned in this passage are often found in Eastern countries at this day, and that they are especially useful as defences against the incursions of the Arabs on horseback. The hedge is sometimes figuratively used to denote protection. Comp. Job 1:10.
