You could convert the Hebrew day and month into an approximate date on the calendar that your culture uses. However, the Jews used a lunar calendar, so if you use a solar calendar, the date will be different every year and the translation will not be entirely accurate. So you may just want to give the number of the day and the name of the month on the Hebrew calendar, and say in a footnote approximately what time of year that is on your calendar.\n | |

| 12 | 1:6 | rma3 | וְאֵין־לְשָׁכְרָ֔ה | 1 | Here, the clause **but cannot get drunk** means that there is not enough wine to satisfy the people’s thirst. In other words, there is not nearly enough wine for the people of Israel to drink and then be drunk. The reader should understand that the text is not stating that drunkenness is a good thing. | ||

Thus, the author describes the lack of crops as if the people of Israel were looking for crops but Yahweh had blown them away as if they were dust. Alternate translation: “I spoiled them” or “I caused them to spoil” “I caused them to disappear” | |
| 16 | 1:9 | g652 | rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-123person | נְאֻם֙ יְהוָ֣ה | 1 | Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. Alternate translation: “this is what Yahweh has declared” or “this is what I, Yahweh, have declared” | |

The people of Israel only worked on their own houses, but they did not build God's house. If your readers would misunderstand this, you could state the meaning plainly.

This repetitive style of speaking or writing is called a “litany.” Use a form in your language that someone would use to list a series of reasons for something. Alternate translation: “upon all the land, and upon all the crops, and upon every living thing, and upon all the labor of your hands!”\n\n | |
