46:2Together they bend low and kneel down;
they are unable to rescue the images;5
Footnotes
- 5 Heb “[the] burden,” i.e., their images, the heavy burden carried by the animals.
- 6 נַפְשָׁם (nafsham, “their souls/lives”) is equivalent here to a third masculine plural suffix, but the third feminine singular verb הָלָכָה (halakhah, “they go”) agrees with the feminine noun נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh, “soul, life”).
- 7 The downfall of Babylon is depicted here. The idols are carried off by the victorious enemy; the gods are likened to defeated captives who cower before the enemy and are taken into exile.
