Haggai 2:7

Context
2:7 I will also shake up all the nations, and they 1  will offer their treasures; 2  then I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord who rules over all.

1 tn Heb “all the nations.”

2 tn Though the subject here is singular (חֶמְדַּה, khemdah; “desire”), the preceding plural predicate mandates a collective subject, “desired (things)” or, better, an emendation to a plural form, חֲמֻדֹת (khamudot, “desirable [things],” hence “treasures”). Cf. ASV “the precious things”; NASB “the wealth”; NRSV “the treasure.” In the OT context this has no direct reference to the coming of the Messiah.
