and they carry away her wealth

They went down uncircumcised to the lower parts of the earth, those who spread terror in the land of the living. Now they will bear their shame with those who descend to the pit. 32:25 Among the dead they have made a bed for her, along with all her hordes around her grave. 8 All of them are uncircumcised, killed by the sword, for their terror had spread in the land of the living.

1 tn This name appears to be a feminine form of the word “horde,” used in the name Hamon-Gog.
2 tn The Hebrew word refers to the din or noise made by a crowd, and by extension may refer to the crowd itself.
3 tn Heb “wrath.” Context clarifies that God’s wrath is in view.
4 tn Heb “around him her graves,” but the expression is best emended to read “around her grave” (see vv. 23-24).
5 tc The translation follows the LXX for the first line of the verse, although the LXX has lost the second line due to homoioteleuton (similar endings of the clauses). The MT reads “The seller will not return to the sale.” This Hebrew reading has been construed as a reference to land redemption, the temporary sale of the use of property, with property rights returned to the seller in the year of Jubilee. But the context has no other indicator that land redemption is in view. If correct, the LXX evidence suggests that one of the cases of “the customer” has been replaced by “the seller” in the MT, perhaps due to hoimoioarcton (similar beginnings of the words).
6 tn The Hebrew word refers to the din or noise made by a crowd, and by extension may refer to the crowd itself.
