This might reflect the background of the ancient Near Eastern kudurru curses which were made against those who might devastate a royal grave and which were put into effect by the gods of the king (see F. Cathcart, “Treaty-Curses and the Book of Nahum,” CBQ 35 : 180-81). On the other hand, the Targum and Syriac treat this as a double-accusative construction – the implied second object of אָשִׂים being מִבֵּית אֱלֹהֶיךָ ( mibbet ’ elohekha, “the house of your gods”): “I will make it your grave.” Cathcart suggests revocalizing the MT אָשִׂים to a Hiphil imperfect אָשִׁיִם (’ ashiyim) from שָׁמֵם ( shamem, “to devastate”): “I will devastate your grave.” Cathcart notes that the destruction of one’s grave, like the threat of no burial, was a common ancient Near Eastern treaty-curse: “Tombs, especially royal tombs, were often protected by curses directed against persons who might violate and desecrate them, and the very curse kings used to have inscribed on their tombs were precisely the curse of no progeny and no resting-place” (K. 3 tn The MT reading אָשִׂים קִבְרֶךָ (’ asim qivrekha, “I will make your grave”) is usually understood as a figure of speech (metonymy of effect) meaning that the Lord will destroy/execute the Assyrian king. 2 tn Heb “from your name there will no longer be sown.” Some modern English versions supply terms not in the Hebrew text to indicate the addressee more clearly: NIV “Nineveh” NLT “the Assyrians in Nineveh.” Elsewhere in the book of Nahum, the city of Nineveh is referred to by the feminine rather than masculine gender. 3:18-19) rather than to the personified city of Nineveh (so NIV). 1 tn Heb “has commanded concerning you.” The referent of the 2nd person masculine singular suffix (“you”) probably refers to the Assyrian king (cf. 61Ģ:8 Nineveh was like a pool 62 of water 63 throughout her days, 64īut now 65 her people 66 are running away 67Ģ:10 Destruction, devastation, and desolation! 71Įach stomach churns, 74 each face 75 turns 76 pale! 77
