Footnotes

  1. 1 Joel 3:1 in the English Bible is 4:1 in the Hebrew text (). See also the note at 2:28.
  2. 2 The and read “in those days,” while MurXII reads “in that day.”
  3. 3 The Kethib reads אָשִׁיב (’ashiv, “return the captivity [captives]), while the Qere is אָשׁוּב (’ashuv, “restore the fortunes”). Many modern English versions follow the Qere reading. Either reading seems to fit the context. Joel refers to an exile of the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem in 3:2–6 and their return from exile in 3:7. On the other hand, 2:25–26 describes the reversal of judgment and restoration of the covenant blessings. However, the former seems to be the concern of the immediate context.
  4. 4 For location see ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; .
