19:16At that time26 the Egyptians27 will be like women.28 They will tremble and fear because the Lord who commands armies brandishes his fist against them.29
Footnotes
- 26 Heb “in that day” (so ), likewise at the beginning of vv. 18 and 19.
- 27 Heb “Egypt,” which stands by metonymy for the country’s inhabitants.
- 28 As the rest of the verse indicates, the point of the simile is that the Egyptians will be relatively weak physically and will wilt in fear before the Lord’s onslaught.
- 29 Heb “and he will tremble and be afraid because of the brandishing of the hand of the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts], which he brandishes against him.” Since according to the imagery here the Lord’s “hand” is raised as a weapon against the Egyptians, the term “fist” has been used in the translation.
