TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:10 The quaking of the earth and the heavens is a typical sign of theophany, an appearance of God (see Exod 19:16-19; Isa 13:13; Nah 1:5-6). The darkening of the sun and moon symbolizes divine judgment (Isa 13:9-11).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

לְ⁠פָנָי⁠ו֙ רָ֣גְזָה אֶ֔רֶץ רָעֲשׁ֖וּ שָׁמָ֑יִם

before,face/front,them quakes earth/land tremble heavens

Joel speaks of the earth and heavens as if they were people who are shaking with fear. This can be translated as either a hyperbole, that the army is so frightening that even things that are not alive are afraid, or as metonymy, that the earth and the heavens are metonyms for the beings who live there. Alternate translation: “Everyone on earth and in the heavens is very afraid” (See also: figs-hyperbole)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

שֶׁ֤מֶשׁ וְ⁠יָרֵ֨חַ֙ קָדָ֔רוּ וְ⁠כוֹכָבִ֖ים אָסְפ֥וּ נָגְהָֽ⁠

sun and,moon grow_dark and,stars withdraw (Some words not found in UHB: before,face/front,them quakes earth/land tremble heavens sun and,moon grow_dark and,stars withdraw shining,their )

This exaggeration claims that there are so many locusts that people cannot see the sun, moon, or stars.
