39:2 I will turn you around and drag you along; 1 I will lead you up from the remotest parts of the north and bring you against the mountains of Israel.
39:3 I will knock your bow out of your left hand and make your arrows fall from your right hand.
1 tn The Hebrew root occurs only here in the OT. An apparent cognate in the Ethiopic language means “walk along.” For a discussion of the research on this verb, see D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:460.
