3:23The Moabites34 said, “It’s blood! The kings are totally destroyed!35 They have struck one another down! Now, Moab, seize the plunder!”
Footnotes
- 34 Heb “they”; the referent (the Moabites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 35 The translation assumes the verb is חָרַב (kharav, “to be desolate”). The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb form for emphasis. (For another example of the Hophal infinitive with a Niphal finite verb, see Lev 19:20. Cf. also §35.2.1c.) Some prefer to derive the verb from a proposed homonym meaning “at II חרב and 352 חָרְבָה).
