Footnotes

  1. 83 While a number of English versions render this as “saved” (e.g., , , ), this can suggest a “spiritual” or “theological” salvation rather than the physical deliverance from the cataclysmic events of the day of the Lord described in the context.
  2. 84 For location see ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; .
  3. 85 Heb “deliverance”; or “escape.” The abstract noun “deliverance” or “escape” probably functions here as an example of antimeria, referring to those who experience deliverance or escape with their lives: “escaped remnant” or “surviving remnant” (Gen 32:8; 45:7; Judg 21:17; 2 Kgs 19:30, 31; Isa 4:2; 10:20; 15:9; 37:31, 32; Ezek 14:22; Obad 1:17; Ezra 9:8, 13–15; Neh 1:2; 1 Chr 4:43; 2 Chr 30:6).
  4. 86 Heb “and among the remnant.”
  5. 87 The participle used in the Hebrew text seems to indicate action in the imminent future.
