30:30 The Lord will give a mighty shout 4
and intervene in power, 5
with furious anger and flaming, destructive fire, 6
with a driving rainstorm and hailstones.
66:17 “As for those who consecrate and ritually purify themselves so they can follow their leader and worship in the sacred orchards, 7 those who eat the flesh of pigs and other disgusting creatures, like mice 8 – they will all be destroyed together,” 9 says the Lord.
1 tn Heb “in that day” (so ASV, NASB); KJV “In the same day.”
2 tn Heb “the river” (so KJV); NASB “the Euphrates.” The name of the river has been supplied in the present translation for clarity.
3 tn Heb “the hair of the feet.” The translation assumes that the word “feet” is used here as a euphemism for the genitals. See BDB 920 s.v. רֶגֶל.
4 tn Heb “the Lord will cause the splendor of his voice to be heard.”
5 tn Heb “and reveal the lowering of his arm.”
6 tn Heb “and a flame of consuming fire.”
7 tn Heb “the ones who consecrate themselves and the ones who purify themselves toward the orchards [or “gardens”] after the one in the midst.” The precise meaning of the statement is unclear, though it is obvious that some form of idolatry is in view.
8 tn Heb “ones who eat the flesh of the pig and the disgusting thing and the mouse.”
9 tn Heb “together they will come to an end.”
