A Plea, Not Just a Plant
Most modern scholars, following ancient translations like the Septuagint, understand the first word not as 'vineyard' or 'stock,' but as a command: 'Protect!' or 'Guard!' This transforms the verse from a simple description into an urgent plea for God to defend the people His own right hand has planted.
