Micah 4:7

Context

4:7 I will transform the lame into the nucleus of a new nation, 1 

and those far off 2  into a mighty nation.

The Lord will reign over them on Mount Zion,

from that day forward and forevermore.” 3 

1 tn Heb “make the lame into a remnant.”

2 tn The precise meaning of this difficult form is uncertain. The present translation assumes the form is a Niphal participle of an otherwise unattested denominative verb הָלָא (hala’, “to be far off”; see BDB 229 s.v.), but attractive emendations include הַנַּחֲלָה (hannakhalah, “the sick one[s]”) from חָלָה (khalah) and הַנִּלְאָה (hannilah, “the weary one[s]”) from לָאָה (laah).

3 tn Heb “from now until forever.”
