pastures_of (Some words not found in UHB: and,it_will_be region_of the=sea pastures_of meadows_of shepherds and,folds_of flock_of_sheep/goats )
Zephaniah is using these possessive forms to describe what will be in the pastures, who will use the meadows, and what the pens will contain. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [pastures in which there are meadows where shepherds graze their sheep and pens that hold their flocks]
OET (OET-RV) The coastal region will become pastures of meadows for shepherds
⇔ and pens for flocks.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
