1 sn The place name Lachish sounds like the Hebrew word for “team [of horses].”
2 tn Heb “she”; this has been translated as second person (“you”) in keeping with the direct address to the residents of Lachish in the previous line.
3 sn The epithet Daughter Zion pictures the city of Jerusalem as a young lady.
4 tn Heb “She was the beginning of sin for Daughter Zion.”
5 tn Heb “for in you was found the transgressions of Israel.”
6 tn Heb “Arise and go!” These imperatives are rhetorical. Those who wrongly drove widows and orphans from their homes and land inheritances will themselves be driven out of the land (cf. Isa 5:8-17). This is an example of poetic justice.
7 tn Heb “for this is no resting place.” The
8 tn Heb “uncleanness will destroy, and destruction will be severe.”
