NET Notes |
1 tn Heb “eat up.” 2 tn Or “eat up your grapes and figs”; Heb “eat up your vines and your fig trees.” 2 sn It was typical for an army in time of war in the ancient Near East not only to eat up the crops but to destroy the means of further production. 3 tn Heb “They will beat down with the sword.” The term “sword” is a figure of speech (synecdoche) for military weapons in general. Siege ramps, not swords, beat down city walls; swords kill people, not city walls. |
