Imamat 26:25
Konteks26:25 I will bring on you an avenging sword, a covenant vengeance. 1 Although 2 you will gather together into your cities, I will send pestilence among you and you will be given into enemy hands. 3
Mazmur 78:50
Konteks78:50 He sent his anger in full force; 4
he did not spare them from death;
he handed their lives over to destruction. 5
Amos 4:10
Konteks4:10 “I sent against you a plague like one of the Egyptian plagues. 6
I killed your young men with the sword,
along with the horses you had captured.
I made the stench from the corpses 7 rise up into your nostrils.
Still you did not come back to me.”
The Lord is speaking!
[26:25] 1 tn Heb “vengeance of covenant”; cf. NAB “the avenger of my covenant.”
[26:25] 2 tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) has a concessive force in this context.
[26:25] 3 tn Heb “in hand of enemy,” but Tg. Ps.-J. and Tg. Neof. have “in the hands of your enemies” (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 454).
[78:50] 4 tn Heb “he leveled a path for his anger.” There were no obstacles to impede its progress; it moved swiftly and destructively.
[78:50] 5 tn Or perhaps “[the] plague.”
