uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שֶׁ֥מֶשׁ וְ⁠יָרֵ֖חַ קָדָ֑רוּ וְ⁠כוֹכָבִ֖ים אָסְפ֥וּ נָגְהָֽ⁠ם

(shemesh və⁠yārēaḩ qādārū və⁠kōkāⱱim ʼāşəfū nāgəhā⁠m)

These are the same phrases as in [2:10](../02/10.md), where Joel used them to describe the locust swarm blocking the light of the sun, moon, and stars. Here, in Joel’s description of the final judgment, these phrases could: (1) have a literal meaning, describing how the creation will disintegrate at the end of history. See the UST. Or (2) be symbolic of earthly rulers and nations losing their power. Alternate translation: [All earthly powers fade before the power of Yahweh]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ⁠כוֹכָבִ֖ים אָסְפ֥וּ נָגְהָֽ⁠ם

(və⁠kōkāⱱim ʼāşəfū nāgəhā⁠m)

See how you translated the same expression in [2:10](../02/10.md).

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

3:1-16 Joel here foretold divine judgment on the nations, particularly those that had oppressed God’s people.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
