The Key Word — וּרְחֹבוֹת, u.re.cho.Votgenerated
The word וּרְחֹבוֹת (u.re.cho.Vot) refers to broad open places or plazas, often translated as streets. It is derived from a root meaning width, indicating public areas where people gather. The parsing as a feminine plural construct suggests a focus on multiple spaces within the city, emphasizing the communal aspect of these areas.
In this verse, the streets are not just physical locations but symbolize a vibrant community life where children can play freely. The use of this term connects to urban settings, highlighting the importance of open spaces for social interaction and joy.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb יִמָּ֣לְא֔וּ (yi.Mal.'U), they will be filled, governs the sentence, with two noun phrases as subjects: יְלָדִ֖ים (boys) and וִֽילָד֑וֹת (and girls). The structure emphasizes the action of filling the streets with children playing.
The sentence flows from the subject to the action, highlighting the lively scene in the city. The use of participles like מְשַׂחֲקִ֖ים (playing) adds to the dynamic imagery of children engaging in joyful activities.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates וּרְחֹבוֹת as πόλεως (city), which emphasizes the urban context of the prophecy. This choice reflects a focus on the community aspect of the city rather than just the physical space.
For יִמָּ֣לְא֔וּ, the LXX uses πλησθήσονται (they will be filled), aligning closely with the Hebrew meaning of abundance and completion, reinforcing the idea of a thriving environment.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

I. The Canaanite City.
1. Origin:
The development of the Canaanite city has been traced by Macalister in his report on the excavation at Gezer (Palestine Exploration Fund Statement, 1904, 108 ff). It originated on the slopes of a bare rocky spur, in which the Neolithic Troglodytes quarried their habitations out of the solid rock, the stones therefrom being used to form a casing to the earthen ramparts, with which the site was afterwards surrounded and which served as a protection against the intrusion of enemies. Later Semitic intruders occupied the site, stone houses were built, and high stone defense…
City
The earliest mention of city-building is that of Enoch, which was built by Cain (Gen. 4:17). After the confusion of tongues, the descendants of Nimrod founded several cities (10:10-12). Next, we have a record of the cities of the Canaanites, Sidon, Gaza, Sodom, etc. (10:12, 19; 11:3, 9; 36:31-39). The earliest description of a city is that of Sodom (19:1-22). Damascus is said to be the oldest existing city in the world. Before the time of Abraham there were cities in Egypt (Num. 13:22). The Israelites in Egypt were employed in building the “treasure cities” of Pithom and Raamses (Ex. 1:11); but it does not seem that they had any cities of their own in Goshen (Gen.…
The towns and cities of Palestine were commonly built on heights, for better security against robbers or invaders. These heights, surrounded by walls, sometimes formed the entire city. In other cases, the citadel alone crowned the hill, around and at the base of which the town was built; and in time of danger the surrounding population all took refuge in the fortified place. Larger towns and cities were often not only defended by strong outer walls, with towers and gates, but by a citadel or castle within these limits-a last resort when the rest of the city was taken, Jud 9:46,51. The "fenced cities" of the Jews, De 3:5, were of various sizes and degrees of strength; some being surrounded by high and thick stone walls, and others by feebler ramparts, often of clay or sun-dried…
