[6:1]  1 tn Heb “Flee for safety, people of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem.”

[6:1]  2 tn Heb “ram’s horn,” but the modern equivalent is “trumpet” and is more readily understandable.

[6:1]  3 tn Heb “leans down” or “looks down.” This verb personifies destruction leaning/looking down from its window in the sky, ready to attack.

[6:1]  4 tn Heb “[It will be] a severe fracture.” The nation is pictured as a limb being fractured.
