[13:6]  1 tn Heb “the day of the Lord” (so KJV, NAB).

[13:6]  2 tn Heb “like destruction from the sovereign judge it comes.” The comparative preposition (כְּ, kÿ) has here the rhetorical nuance, “in every way like.” The point is that the destruction unleashed will have all the earmarks of divine judgment. One could paraphrase, “it comes as only destructive divine judgment can.” On this use of the preposition in general, see GKC 376 §118.x.

[15:2]  3 tn Heb “house.”

[15:2]  4 tn Heb “even Dibon [to] the high places to weep.” The verb “went up” does double duty in the parallel structure.

[15:2]  5 tn Heb “over [or “for”] Nebo and over [or “for”] Medeba.”

[15:2]  6 sn Shaving the head and beard were outward signs of mourning and grief.

[21:12]  7 sn This physical action was part of an expression of grief. Cp. Jer. 31:19.

[30:2]  8 tn Heb “Alas for the day.”
