25:11Moab26 will spread out its hands in the middle of it,27
just as a swimmer spreads his hands to swim;
the Lord28 will bring down Moab’s29 pride as it spreads its hands.30
Footnotes
- 26 Heb “he”; the referent (Moab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 27 The antecedent of the third masculine singular pronominal suffix is probably the masculine noun מַתְבֵּן (matben, “heap of straw”) in v. 10 rather than the feminine noun מַדְמֵנָה (madmenah, “manure pile”), also in v. 10.
- 28 Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 29 Heb “his”; the referent (Moab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 30 The Hebrew text has, “he will bring down his pride along with the [?] of his hands.” The meaning of אָרְבּוֹת (’arbot), which occurs only here in the OT, is unknown. Some (see 70 אָרְבָּה) translate “artifice, cleverness,” relating the form to the verbal root אָרָב (’arav, “to lie in wait, ambush”), but this requires some convoluted semantic reasoning. *אָרְבָּה suggests the meaning “[nimble] movements.” The translation above, which attempts to relate the form to the preceding context, is purely speculative.
