Footnotes

  1. 6 Heb “my spirit.” The subject appears to be the Lord who exclaims here that the horsemen have accomplished their task of bringing peace.
  2. 7 The immediate referent of peace about the northland is to the peace brought by Persia’s conquest of Babylonia, a peace that allowed the restoration of the Jewish people (cf. 2 Chr 36:22–23; Isa 44:28; 45:1–2). However, there is also an eschatological dimension, referring to a time when there will be perfect and universal peace.
