Footnotes

  1. 21 Heb “they will go into exile at the head of the exiles.”
  2. 22 Religious banquets. This refers to the מַרְזֵחַ (marzeakh), a type of pagan religious banquet popular among the upper class of Israel at this time and apparently associated with mourning. See P. King, Amos, Hosea, Micah, 137–61; J. L. McLaughlin, The “Marzeah” in the Prophetic Literature (). Scholars debate whether at this banquet the dead were simply remembered or actually venerated in a formal, cultic sense.
  3. 23 Heb “of the sprawled out.” See v. 4.
