Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

ClVg Sol et luna obtenebrati sunt, et stellæ retraxerunt splendorem suum.

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