NETBible

Don’t be afraid, despised insignificant Jacob,¹ men of² Israel. I am helping you,” says the Lord, your protector,³ the Holy One of Israel.⁴

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “O worm Jacob” (NAB, NIV). The worm metaphor suggests that Jacob is insignificant and despised.

²tn On the basis of the parallelism (note “worm”) and an alleged Akkadian cognate, some read “louse” or “weevil.” Cf. NAB “O maggot Israel”; NRSV “you insect Israel.”

³tn Heb “your kinsman redeemer.” A גָּאַל (ga’al, “kinsman redeemer”) was a protector of the extended family’s interests.

⁴sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.
