The Key Word — עֵירֹם, 'ei.Romgenerated
The word עֵירֹם ('eirom) means nakedness or nudity, conveying a state of being without clothing. It emphasizes exposure and vulnerability, often associated with shame. This term appears in contexts where dishonor or disgrace is a central theme, such as in the consequences of unfaithfulness.
In this verse, the use of עֵירֹם underscores the humiliation that will accompany the people's actions, as they are left exposed and bare due to their unfaithfulness. The word captures the depth of their disgrace and the severity of the judgment they will face.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses naked for עֵירֹם. The KJV and ASV also use nakedness, maintaining the same meaning.
Where translations differ, they vary in rendering עֵירֹם: the BSB uses exposed, while the GNV opts for bare, showing different nuances of the same concept.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb is עָשׂ֨וּ, they will deal, which governs the entire verse. It is followed by a series of phrases detailing the actions taken against the people: the manner of treatment, the taking of possessions, and the resulting state of exposure.
The structure emphasizes the sequential actions: first, they will treat the people with hatred, then take all their labor, and finally leave them in a state of nakedness and shame.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates עֵירֹם as γυμνὴ, which means naked. This choice aligns closely with the Hebrew meaning but emphasizes the physical aspect of being without covering.
This translation choice highlights the exposure and shame that comes from the actions described, reinforcing the themes of vulnerability and disgrace present in the original Hebrew.

tak: Most of the very numerous examples of this word are still in good use and only a few call for special attention. "To take" in the sense of "capture" is still common, but when a person or living animal is in point, modern English usually adds "prisoner" or "captive." English Versions of the Bible not infrequently has this addition (Ge 14:14, etc.), but more commonly "take" is used without it (Jos 10:39; Job 5:13; Sirach 23:21; Joh 7:30, etc.).

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.

Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
