NET Notes: Oba 1:4

¹ sn The eagle was often used in the ancient Near East as a symbol of strength and swiftness.

² tc The present translation follows the reading תָּשִׂים (tasim; active) rather than שִׁים (sim; passive) of the MT (“and your nest be set among the stars,” NAB). Cf. LXX, Syriac, Vg.
