  1. Nahum 1-3

    Matan Al Haperek

    Rabbi David Sabato

    Sefer Nahum opens with a psalm of praise which focuses on the power of God to avenge His enemies. It begins with descriptions of the attribute of justice and of the disaster (2-3). In the continuation (4-14), the fall of Assyria is described. Three pesukim (7, 12 and 13) which describe the redemption of Israel are interspersed in the description of the fall.

    Perek 2: After the general description in perek 1, perek 2 is dedicated to a detailed description of the downfall of Assyria. The perek opens with the news of the victory and the salvation of Judah (1-3). The middle of the perek consists of a detailed description of the sights and sounds from the conquest of Nineveh (4-11). The last section describes the fall of Assyria using an image of the lion as the king of the beasts who is removed from his greatness (12-14).

    Perek 3: This perek tells of the sins of Nineveh which caused their downfall. In the beginning, Nahum presents the reader with rabidly changing images and sounds from the conquest of Nineveh (2-3). In pesukim 4-7 we have a new image of Nineveh as a harlot and in the continuation (8-10) the prophet compares the fate of Nineveh to the fate of No Amon which was recently destroyed. He continues to mock Nineveh and compares Assyria to a swarm of locusts (11-17). The perek ends with the world gloating over the defeat of the king of Assyria (18-19).
