| NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “in three years, like the years of a hired worker.” The three years must be reckoned exactly, just as a hired worker would carefully keep track of the time he had agreed to work for an employer in exchange for a predetermined wage. 2 tn Heb “and the splendor of Moab will be disgraced with all the great multitude, and a small little remnant will not be strong.” |
