NET Notes |
1 tn Heb “One thousand from before [or “because of”] one battle cry.” גְּעָרָה (gÿ’arah) is often defined as “threat,” but in war contexts it likely refers to a shout or battle cry. See Ps 76:6. 2 tn Heb “from before [or “because of”] the battle cry of five you will flee. 3 tn Heb “until you are left” (so NAB, NASB, NRSV). |
