1:20Next the Lord showed me four blacksmiths.29
Footnotes
- 29 Heb “craftsmen” (so , ; “carpenters”), a generic term which can mean “metalworker, smith, armorer” ( חָרָשׁ). “Blacksmiths” was chosen for the present translation because of its relative familiarity among contemporary English readers. The horns are perhaps made of iron, the strongest of all metals known to the ancient Near Eastern world, since military activity is implied in the context. Only blacksmiths can cut the horns off. If the horns represent oppressive nations, the blacksmiths must represent deliverers whom the Lord raises up, kings like Cyrus of Persia (cf. Isa 54:16).
