Micah 2:2

Context

2:2 They confiscate the fields they desire,

and seize the houses they want. 1 

They defraud people of their homes, 2 

and deprive people of the land they have inherited. 3 

1 tn Heb “they desire fields and rob [them], and houses and take [them] away.”

2 tn Heb “and they oppress a man and his home.”

3 tn Heb “and a man and his inheritance.” The verb עָשַׁק (’ashaq, “to oppress”; “to wrong”) does double duty in the parallel structure and is understood by ellipsis in the second line.
