¹ tn Heb “they shall assemble themselves.”

¹ tn The repetition of the adverb מְאֹד (mÿ’od) is used to express this: “very, very [good].”

¹ tn Or “the first of your dough.” The phrase is not very clear. N. H. Snaith thinks it means a batch of loaves from the kneading trough – the first batch of the baking (Leviticus and Numbers [NCB], 251).

¹ tn Heb “word.”

² tn Heb “and thus you shall speak.”

¹ tc The MT is difficult. The Kittim refers normally to Cyprus, or any maritime people to the west. W. F.

Some commentators accept that reading as the original state of the text, since the present MT makes little sense.

² tn Or perhaps “Assyria” (so NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT).

³ tn Or “it will end in utter destruction.”
