he catches the oppressed ⁴  by pulling in his net. ⁵ 

Nahum 2:12

[2:12]  ⁷ tn The words “to provide food” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[2:12]  ⁸ tn The Piel verb וַיְמַלֵּא (vayÿmalle’) is a preterite with vav (ו) consecutive which depicts a sequence of events.
