Exegesis
The imagery then resolves into human behavior through a distributive pattern: ish el-ammo yifnu {אִישׁ אֶל־עַמּוֹ֙ יִפְנ֔וּ | ʾîš ʾel-ʿammô yipnû} and ve-ish el-artzo yanusu {וְאִ֥ישׁ אֶל־אַרְצ֖וֹ יָנֽוּסוּ | wə-ʾîš ʾel-ʾarṣô yānûsû}.
In context — Isaiah 13:14
And it will be like a gazelle driven away , and like sheep with no one to gather them; each man will turn back to his own people, and each will flee to his own land.
