Footnotes
- 32 Heb “Yahweh of armies.” See the study note on for explanation of this title.
- 33 Heb “the sword.”
- 34 The meaning of this word is somewhat uncertain. It occurs only here in the Hebrew Bible. 1045 שֹׁעָר relates it to the noun “horrible thing” (translated “something shocking”) in Jer 5:30; 23:14 and defines it as “horrid, disgusting.” שֹׁעָר relates it to the same noun and define it as “rotten; corrupt.” That nuance is accepted here. Compare Jer 24:8–10 in its context for the figure here.
