Zefanya 1:9
Konteks1:9 On that day I will punish all who leap over the threshold, 1
who fill the house of their master 2 with wealth taken by violence and deceit. 3
Zefanya 3:15
Konteks3:15 The Lord has removed the judgment against you; 4
he has turned back your enemy.
Israel’s king, the Lord, is in your midst!
You no longer need to fear disaster.
[1:9] 1 sn The point of the statement all who hop over the threshold is unclear. A ritual or superstition associated with the Philistine god Dagon may be in view (see 1 Sam 5:5).
[1:9] 2 tn The referent of “their master” is unclear. The king or a pagan god may be in view.
[1:9] 3 tn Heb “who fill…with violence and deceit.” The expression “violence and deceit” refers metonymically to the wealth taken by oppressive measures.
[3:15] 4 tn Heb “your judgments,” that is, “the judgments directed against you.” The translation reflects the implications of the parallelism.
