16:3So I am ready to burn up5 Baasha and his family, and make your family6 like the family of Jeroboam son of Nebat. 16:4Dogs will eat the members of Baasha’s family7 who die in the city, and the birds of the sky will eat the ones who die in the country.”
Footnotes
- 5 The traditional view understands the verb בָּעַר (ba’ar) to mean “burn.” However, an alternate view takes בָּעַר (ba’ar) as a homonym meaning “sweep away” ( II בער). In this case one might translate, “I am ready to sweep away Baasha and his family.” Either metaphor emphasizes the thorough and destructive nature of the coming judgment.
- 6 The Old Greek, , and some of the have here “his house.”
- 7 Heb “the ones belonging to Baasha.”
