(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! troops,your women/wives in/on/at/with,midst,your to,enemies,your to_be_open they_are_opened gates land,your eating fire bars,your )

In this ancient culture, women were not warriors for a number of reasons, including their being generally weaker physically than men. Here Nahum speaks of Nineveh’s warriors losing their strength and courage to fight as if the people in the city were all women. Alternate translation: “your people are all like women who are weak and cannot defend themselves”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! troops,your women/wives in/on/at/with,midst,your to,enemies,your to_be_open they_are_opened gates land,your eating fire bars,your )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the gates of your land are wide open to your enemies” or “someone has opened wide to your enemies the gates of your land”

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! troops,your women/wives in/on/at/with,midst,your to,enemies,your to_be_open they_are_opened gates land,your eating fire bars,your )

Nahum speaks of fire burning up and destroying as if fire were eating. Alternate translation: “fire has destroyed” or “fire has burned up”
