Footnotes
| Joe. 3:4 | The Hebrew participle משלמים derives from the root שלם (š‑l‑m), which fundamentally conveys the sense of wholeness, completeness, or restoration. In the Piel stem, the verb שלם (šillēm) assumes an intensive or causative nuance, typically rendered as to repay, to recompense, or to requite. The participial form משלמים thus denotes those who repay or those who render compensation. Given the root meaning and broader semantic range of שלם, a more literal and etymologically sensitive rendering would be those making whole, which in a reciprocal context would be understood as those reciprocating—i.e., returning a deed in kind, whether as retribution or restitution. Two reciprocating the same thing creates "a whole." This interpretation aligns with the use of the term in prophetic and juridical contexts in Biblical Hebrew (cf. Joel 4:4 [MT]; Proverbs 11:31). |
| Joe. 3:4 | The form גמלים is not a Qal participle, as was classified by some (verb, Qal participle, active, masculine plural, absolute). Rather, it is a masculine plural noun meaning “camels”, derived from the singular גמל. The Qal active participle of the root ג־מ־ל (“to deal with,” “to repay,” “to wean”) is גומל in the masculine singular and גומלים in the masculine plural. The participial form follows the morphological pattern qōṭəl/qōṭəlīm, not the gəCālīm structure found in גְּמָלִים. Therefore, the word גְּמָלִים functions solely as a common noun in Biblical Hebrew, and not as a verbal participle.
