Ulangan 28:7

28:7 The Lord will cause your enemies who attack ¹  you to be struck down before you; they will attack you from one direction ²  but flee from you in seven different directions.

Ulangan 28:25

Curses by Defeat and Deportation

28:25 “The Lord will allow you to be struck down before your enemies; you will attack them from one direction but flee from them in seven directions and will become an object of terror ³  to all the kingdoms of the earth.

[28:7]  ¹ tn Heb “who rise up against” (so NIV).

[28:7]  ² tn Heb “way” (also later in this verse and in v. 25).

[28:25]  ³ tc The meaningless MT reading זַעֲוָה (za’avah) is clearly a transposition of the more commonly attested Hebrew noun זְוָעָה (zÿva’ah, “terror”).
