Footnotes

  1. 67 Heb “Kill all her young bulls.” Commentators are almost universally agreed that the reference to “young bulls” is figurative here for the princes and warriors (cf. 831 פַּר 2.f, which compares Isa 34:7 and Ezek 39:18). This is virtually certain because of the reference to the time coming for them to be punished; this would scarcely fit literal bulls. For the verb rendered “kill” here see the translator’s note on v. .
  2. 68 Heb “Let them go down to the slaughter.”
  3. 69 Or “How terrible it will be for them”; Heb “Woe to them.” See the study note on and compare the usage in 23:1; 48:1.
  4. 70 The words “of reckoning” are not in the text but are implicit from the context. They are supplied in the translation for clarity.
