[2:31]  1 tn Heb “to blood,” but no doubt this is intended to indicate by metonymy the color of blood rather than the substance itself. The blood red color suggests a visual impression here – something that could be caused by fires, volcanic dust, sandstorms, or other atmospheric phenomena.

[2:22]  1 tn Heb “beasts of the field.”

[2:22]  2 tn Heb “their strength.” The trees and vines will produce a maximum harvest, in contrast to the failed agricultural conditions previously described.

[2:11]  1 tn Heb “the Lord gives his voice.”

[2:11]  2 tn Heb “before his army.”
