24:19 The earth is broken in pieces,

the earth is ripped to shreds,

the earth shakes violently.


tn Once more repetition is used to draw attention to a statement. In the Hebrew text each lines ends with אֶרֶץ (’erets, “earth”). Each line also uses a Hitpolel verb form from a geminate root preceded by an emphatic infinitive absolute.
