Footnotes
- 29 Heb “come.”
- 30 Heb “The totality of their faces is to the east” (or “is forward”). The precise meaning of the Hebrew term מְגַמַּת (megammat) is unclear. For a discussion of options see J. J. M. Roberts, Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah (), 93. has “a sea of faces rolls on”; “their hordes advance like a desert wind”; “with faces pressing forward.”
- 31 Heb “and he gathers like sand, prisoners.”
