Footnotes

  1. 36 For location see ; ; ; ; .
  2. 37 Heb “when the dawn is cut off” or “when the day ceases.” Cf. “When the day of judgment dawns.”
  3. 38 The root דָמָה (damah, “to be cut off, cease to exist, be destroyed”; 198 דָמָה; דמה) is repeated in the Hebrew text. The form נִדְמֹה (nidmoh, Niphal infinitive absolute) appears in the first colon, and the form נִדְמָה (nidmah, Niphal perfect 3rd person masculine singular) appears in the second colon. This striking repetition creates a dramatic wordplay which, for stylistic reasons, cannot be reproduced in English translations: “The moment the dawn ceases to exist (i.e., at the break of dawn), the king of Israel will cease to exist.”
