Joel 2:5

Context

2:5 They sound like 1  chariots rumbling 2  over mountain tops,

like the crackling 3  of blazing fire consuming stubble,

like the noise of 4  a mighty army 5  being drawn up for battle. 6 

Joel 3:16

Context

3:16 The Lord roars from Zion;

from Jerusalem 7  his voice bellows out. 8 

The heavens 9  and the earth shake.

But the Lord is a refuge for his people;

he is a stronghold for the citizens 10  of Israel.

Joel 2:11

Context

2:11 The voice of the Lord thunders 11  as he leads his army. 12 

Indeed, his warriors 13  are innumerable; 14 

Surely his command is carried out! 15 

Yes, the day of the Lord is awesome 16 

and very terrifying – who can survive 17  it?

[2:5]  1 tn Heb “like the sound of.”

[2:5]  2 tn Heb “jostling” or “leaping.” There is question whether this pictures chariots rumbling over the mountains (e.g., 2 Sam 6:14,16; 1 Chr 15:29; Nah 3:2) or the locusts flying – or “leaping” – over the mountains (e.g., Job 21:11); see BDB 955 s.v. רָקַד.

[2:5]  3 tn Heb “sound.”

[2:5]  4 tn The phrase “the noise of” does not appear in the Hebrew, but is implied by the parallelism, so it has been supplied in the translation for the sake of clarity.

[2:5]  6 tn Heb “being arrayed of battle.”
