  1. It\u2019s coming!<\/em> 12 times the root \u05d1-\u05d5-\u05d0, <\/span>b-v-aleph<\/span><\/i>, \u201ccome\u201d is used. It communicates the message that indeed – here it comes!<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. \u201cHatzefirah.\u201d<\/em> This word used in verses 7 and 10 is a hapax, it only appears here in the entire Bible. So it\u2019s not entirely clear what is intended. The JPS translation here translates \u201ccycle.\u201d Alter uses \u201cgyre\u201d (see his piece on this page). Something bad is coming. Perhaps the End. Perhaps – Babylonia. Perhaps (just) a bad period. All are possibilities that have been suggested.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n

Perhaps that which is within Jerusalem, perhaps it is that which is outside, at the gates.<\/span><\/li>\n
