Context

74:6 And now 1  they are tearing down 2  all its engravings 3

2 tn The imperfect verbal form vividly describes the act as underway.

3 tn Heb “its engravings together.”

4 tn This Hebrew noun occurs only here in the OT (see H. R. Cohen, Biblical Hapax Legomena [SBLDS], 49-50).

5 tn This Hebrew noun occurs only here in the OT. An Akkadian cognate refers to a “pickaxe” (cf. NEB “hatchet and pick”; NIV “axes and hatchets”; NRSV “hatchets and hammers”).
