Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 24 The same ideas are found in Joel 2:4. The leaping motion is compared to the galloping of the horse.
  2. 25 The word could mean “snorting” as well (see Jer 8:16). It comes from the root “to blow.” If the horse is running and breathing hard, this could be the sense here.
