TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:1-5 The scope of the visions narrows from the cosmos (vision 1), to the nations (vision 2), to the city of Jerusalem. The vision itself (2:1-3) is followed by an explanation of its meaning (2:4-5).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) The second angel said to him

(Some words not found in UHB: and,asked what these coming to,do and=he/it_said to=say these the,horns which/who scattered DOM Yehuda as,mouth_of (a)_man not raise his/its=head and=they_came these to,terrify DOM=them to,strike_down DOM horns the=nations the,lifted_up horns to/towards earth/land Yehuda to,scatter,it )

Alternate translation: “The second angel said to the angel who had talked with me”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) Jerusalem will sit in the open country … beasts within her

(Some words not found in UHB: and,asked what these coming to,do and=he/it_said to=say these the,horns which/who scattered DOM Yehuda as,mouth_of (a)_man not raise his/its=head and=they_came these to,terrify DOM=them to,strike_down DOM horns the=nations the,lifted_up horns to/towards earth/land Yehuda to,scatter,it )

The phrase “will sit in the open country” translates a word that refers to a city that has no walls. There will be so many inhabitants in the city that it will be too large to have walls around it. Alternate translation: “Jerusalem will not have walls around it … beasts within the city”
