14 That is, Mount Zion (see 24:23); cf. ; “In Jerusalem.”
15 Heb “And the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts] will make for all the nations on this mountain a banquet of meats, a banquet of wine dregs, meats filled with marrow, dregs that are filtered.”
16 The Hebrew text reads, “the face of the shroud, the shroud over all the nations.” Some emend the second הַלּוֹט (hallot) to a passive participle הַלּוּט (hallut, “that is wrapped”).
17 The point of the imagery is unclear. Perhaps the shroud/covering referred to was associated with death in some way (see v. 8).
18 The image of the Lord “swallowing” death would be especially powerful, for death was viewed in Canaanite mythology and culture as a hungry enemy that swallows its victims. See the note at .
19 Heb “has spoken” (so , , , , ).
