[1:11]  1 tn Heb “in the Mortar.” The Hebrew term מַכְתֵּשׁ (makhtesh, “mortar”) is apparently here the name of a low-lying area where economic activity took place.

[1:11]  2 tn Or perhaps “Canaanites.” Cf. BDB 489 s.v. I and II כְּנַעֲנִי. Translators have rendered the term either as “the merchant people” (KJV, NKJV), “the traders” (NRSV), “merchants” (NEB, NIV), or, alternatively, “the people of Canaan” (NASB).

[1:11]  3 tn Or “be destroyed.”

[1:11]  4 tn Heb “weigh out silver.”

[1:11]  5 tn Heb “be cut off.” In the Hebrew text of v. 11b the perfect verbal forms emphasize the certainty of the judgment, speaking of it as if it were already accomplished.

[2:10]  6 tn Heb “this is for them in place of their arrogance.”

[2:10]  7 tn Heb “made great [their mouth?] against” (cf. the last phrase of v. 8).
