The Key Word — נִפְלָ֔ם, nif.Lamgenerated
The verb נָפַל (naphal) means 'to fall' and is used here in the infinitive construct to indicate the act of falling or collapsing. It conveys a sense of defeat, as it is often associated with failure or ruin in various contexts throughout the Old Testament.
In this verse, it indicates that Edom's downfall is significant enough to cause a reaction in the natural world, emphasizing the gravity of their situation. The use of this verb underscores the inevitability of their defeat and the impact it has on the surrounding environment.
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 of the verse is נִפְלָ֔ם, falling, which governs the structure of the sentence. The earth's reaction is described in a subsequent clause, indicating that the shaking of the earth is a direct response to the defeat.
The sentence is structured to emphasize the cause-and-effect relationship: the sound of their fall leads to the earth quaking, and their cries reach the Red Sea. This arrangement highlights the interconnectedness of the events described.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates קוֹל as φωνῆς (phōnēs), which also means 'voice' or 'sound.' This choice maintains the original meaning while possibly broadening the interpretation to include a more general sense of noise or outcry.
The translation of נִפְלָ֔ם as αὐτῶν (autōn) suggests a focus on the subjects of the fall, reinforcing the idea of their defeat and its consequences.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Jeremiah 49:21 tells us that when Edom falls, the earth will shake, and their cries will be heard all the way to the Red Sea. This verse shows the serious consequences of their defeat, illustrating how their downfall affects not just them but the world around them.

The two main views are as follows: (a) that both are based on an older prophecy, Ob. preserving a more original form (so Dr., G. A.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text (MT) of Jeremiah 49:21 states, "מִקּ֣וֹל נִפְלָ֔ם רָעֲשָׁ֖ה הָאָ֑רֶץ צְעָקָ֕ה בְּיַם־ ס֖וּף נִשְׁמַ֥ע קוֹלָֽהּ׃" which translates to, "At the sound of their fall the earth will quake; their cry will resound to the Red Sea." The Septuagint (LXX) has a word-by-word correspondence with 6 of the 9 words matched to the MT, indicating some agreement, but it does not provide a complete translation or the same sentence structure, which suggests variations in interpretation or emphasis. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls do not provide additional evidence for this verse, so we focus on the MT and LXX for comparison. Overall, the MT and LXX show partial agreement in content, but the differences in wording and structure highlight the interpretative variations between these ancient texts.
מִקּ֣וֹל נִפְלָ֔ם רָעֲשָׁ֖ה הָאָ֑רֶץ צְעָקָ֕ה בְּיַם־ ס֖וּף נִשְׁמַ֥ע קוֹלָֽהּ׃
6 of the 9 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.

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…
