Context — The Desolation of Ziongenerated

6He has laid waste His tabernacle like a garden booth; He has destroyed His place of meeting. The LORD has made Zion forget her appointed feasts and Sabbaths. In His fierce anger He has despised both king and priest.
7The Lord has rejected His altar; He has abandoned His sanctuary; He has delivered the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have raised a shout in the house of the LORD as on the day of an appointed feast.
8The LORD determined to destroy the wall of the Daughter of Zion. He stretched out a measuring line and did not withdraw His hand from destroying. He made the ramparts and walls lament; together they waste away.
9Her gates have sunk into the ground; He has destroyed and shattered their bars. Her king and her princes are exiled among the nations, the law is no more, and even her prophets find no vision from the LORD.

Lamentations 2:7 reflects the profound sorrow over God's rejection of His altar and sanctuary, marking a significant moment in the lament for Jerusalem's downfall. The verse captures the weight of divine judgment as the city faces the consequences of its sins. This lament is part of a broader narrative that mourns the destruction of Zion and the loss of its sacred identity, echoing themes found in other prophetic texts that address Israel's unfaithfulness and its repercussions.

The Key Word זָנַח, za.Nachgenerated

The verb זָנַח (zanach) means 'to reject' or 'to cast off.' It conveys a strong sense of abandonment and disgust, indicating that something is no longer desired or accepted. The parsing as a perfect third person masculine singular verb shows that this action has been completed by the subject, God, emphasizing His decisive rejection.

This word appears in contexts describing both physical and spiritual rejection, highlighting the seriousness of God's disapproval. In this verse, it underscores the gravity of Israel's situation, as God has effectively turned away from the very places designated for worship and sacrifice.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses the term rejected for זָנַח.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb זָנַח governs the sentence, with multiple clauses detailing the actions taken by God. The structure emphasizes the sequence of God's rejection, abandonment, and delivery of the walls to the enemy.

The clauses are tightly knit, with the first clause stating God's rejection of His altar, followed by His abandonment of the sanctuary, and concluding with the delivery of the walls. This arrangement highlights the escalating severity of God's actions.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates זָנַח as ἀπώσατο (apōsato), which means 'to cast away.' This choice reflects a similar sense of rejection, though it may carry a connotation of distance or separation that adds depth to the understanding of God's actions.

The choice of ἀπώσατο suggests a deliberate distancing by God, reinforcing the notion of abandonment that is central to the lament.

There are various Hebrew and Greek words so rendered.

(1.) Heb. Jehovah, has been rendered in the English Bible LORD, printed in small capitals. This is the proper name of the God of the Hebrews. The form “Jehovah” is retained only in Ex. 6:3; Ps. 83:18; Isa. 12:2; 26:4, both in the Authorized and the Revised Version.

(2.) Heb. ‘adon, means one possessed of absolute control. It denotes a master, as of slaves (Gen. 24:14, 27), or a ruler of his subjects (45:8), or a husband, as lord of his wife (18:12).

Smith's Bible Dictionary

[GOD]

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

This name belongs to God by preeminence; and in this sense ought never to be given to any creature. Jesus Christ, as the Messiah, the Son of God, and equal with the Father, is often called Lord in Scripture, especially in the writing of Paul. The word LORD, in the English Bible, when printed in small capitals, stands always for JEHOVAH in the Hebrew. See JEHOVAH.

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.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'
