| NET Notes |
1 tn Heb “I swear by myself.” See 22:5 and the study note there. 2 sn Bozrah appears to have been the chief city in Edom, its capital city (see its parallelism with Edom in Isa 34:6; 63:1; Jer 49:22). The reference to “its towns” (translated here “all the towns around it”) could then be a reference to all the towns in Edom. It was located about twenty-five miles southeast of the southern end of the Dead Sea apparently in the district of Teman (see the parallelism in Amos 1:12). 3 tn See the study note on 24:9 for the rendering of this term. |
