4:2But for you who respect my name, the sun of vindication4 will rise with healing wings,5 and you will skip about6 like calves released from the stall.
Footnotes
- 4 Here the Hebrew word צְדָקָה (tsédaqah), usually translated “righteousness” (so , , , ; cf. “justice”), has been rendered as “vindication” because it is the vindication of God’s people that is in view in the context. Cf. 842 צְדָקָה 6; “righteousness as vindicated, justification, salvation, etc.” The expression the sun of vindication will rise is a metaphorical way of describing the day of the Lord as a time of restoration when God vindicates his people (see 2 Sam 23:4; Isa 30:26; 60:1, 3). Their vindication and restoration will be as obvious and undeniable as the bright light of the rising sun.
- 5 The point of the metaphor of healing wings is unclear. The sun seems to be compared to a bird. Perhaps the sun’s “wings” are its warm rays. “Healing” may refer to a reversal of the injury done by evildoers (see Mal 3:5).
- 6 Heb “you will go out and skip about.”
