The Key Word — כַּסְפִּ֥י, kas.Pigenerated
The word כֶּסֶף (*ke.seph*) refers to silver and money, highlighting its significance in transactions and its role as a measure of wealth. It is a noun in the construct state, indicating possession, as shown by the suffix.
In this verse, it emphasizes the value of what was taken from God, framing the act of theft as a serious offense. The use of the construct form with the suffix indicates that this silver belongs to God, reinforcing the personal nature of the accusation.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in the verse is לְקַחְתֶּם, you took, which governs the object כַּסְפִּי, My silver, and וּזְהָבִי, and My gold. The structure indicates a straightforward accusation of theft.
Following this, the phrase וּמַֽחֲמַדַּי, and My finest treasures, is also governed by the main verb, emphasizing the extent of what was taken and the seriousness of the offense.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates כַּסְפִּי as τὸ (*to*), indicating a direct reference to the silver, while וּזְהָבִי is rendered as πᾶς (*all*), which broadens the scope of the accusation.
This choice suggests a more general interpretation of the possessions taken, emphasizing the totality of the theft rather than specific items.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Joel 3:5 reveals God's complaint against the nations for stealing His silver and gold and taking His finest treasures to their temples. This verse is part of a larger message where God addresses the wrongs done to His people and warns of impending judgment.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
