Footnotes

  1. 57 The vav consecutive prefixed to וַהֲסִרֹתִי (vahasiroti) “I will remove” (vav consecutive + Hiphil perfect 1st person common singular) introduces an explanatory clause.
  2. 58 Heb “the Baals.” The singular term בַּעַל (ba’al) refers to the Canaanite god Baal himself, while the plural form הַבְּעָלִים (habbé’alim) refers to the manifestations of the god (i.e., idols; 127 בָּעַל II.1).
  3. 59 Heb “from her mouth.” In the translation this is rendered as second person for consistency.
  4. 60 Heb “they will no longer be mentioned by their name.”
