1 Samuel 2:33
Konteks2:33 Any one of you that I do not cut off from my altar, I will cause your 1 eyes to fail 2 and will cause you grief. 3 All of those born to your family 4 will die in the prime of life. 5
1 Samuel 2:30
Konteks2:30 Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, says, ‘I really did say 6 that your house and your ancestor’s house would serve 7 me forever.’ But now the Lord says, ‘May it never be! 8 For I will honor those who honor me, but those who despise me will be cursed!
[2:33] 1 tc The LXX, a Qumran
[2:33] 2 tn Heb “to cause your eyes to fail.” Elsewhere this verb, when used of eyes, refers to bloodshot eyes resulting from weeping, prolonged staring, or illness (see Lev 26:16; Pss 69:3; 119:82; Lam 2:11; 4:17).
[2:33] 3 tn Heb “and to cause your soul grief.”
[2:33] 4 tn Heb “and all the increase of your house.”
[2:33] 5 tc The text is difficult. The MT literally says “they will die [as] men.” Apparently the meaning is that they will be cut off in the prime of their life without reaching old age. The LXX and a Qumran
[2:30] 6 tn The infinitive absolute appears before the finite verb for emphasis.
