1 tn Heb “look at”; NAB, NRSV “did not look to.”
2 tn The antecedent of the third feminine singular suffix here and in the next line is unclear. The closest feminine noun is “pool” in the first half of the verse. Perhaps this “old pool” symbolizes the entire city, which had prospered because of God’s provision and protection through the years.
3 tn Heb “did not see.”
4 sn Moab is addressed.
5 tn Heb “a fortification, the high point of your walls.”
6 tn Heb “he will bring [it] down, he will make [it] touch the ground, even to the dust.”
7 tn Heb “In that day” (so KJV).
8 tn Heb “his”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
9 tn Heb “deliverance he makes walls and a rampart.”
10 tn Heb “a hand and a name.” For other examples where יָד (yad) refers to a monument, see HALOT 388 s.v.
11 tn Heb “name” (so KJV, NIV, NRSV).
12 tn Heb “and they will build from you ancient ruins.”
13 tc The Hebrew text has “the one who restores paths for dwelling.” The idea of “paths to dwell in” is not a common notion. Some have proposed emending נְתִיבוֹת (nÿtivot, “paths”) to נְתִיצוֹת (nÿtitsot, “ruins”), a passive participle from נָתַץ (natats, “tear down”; see HALOT 732 s.v. *נְתִיצָה), because tighter parallelism with the preceding line is achieved. However, none of the textual sources support this emendation. The line may mean that paths must be repaired in order to dwell in the land.
14 tn Heb “in my favor I will have compassion on you.”
