The Latter Prophets - with the music as derived from the accents

The Latter Prophets - Isaiah (iwyihu), Jeremiah (irmihu), Ezekiel (ikzqal), and The Twelve (tri ywr: howy, ioal, ymos, yobdih, ionh, mich, nkum, kbquq, xpnih, kgi, zcrih, mlaci).

You can tell from these how relatively big the job would be to sing the work from beginning to end. The Twelve give us 209 pages of music. The latter prophets in total are 979 pages in this form. Torah is 1032 pages. The former prophets are 913 pages. I had guessed years ago that the whole might be 6000 pages - slightly too high I think. Tell you in the next post.

Zephaniah 3

Yes, this is Zephaniah 3 - hot out of the translator's strange mind. The discipline I have imposed on the Psalms has been imposed here. I have also recently imposed it on Jonah and Ruth, and will shortly impose it onto Job, the Song, Lamentations (the last 3 chapters) and Qohelet. That's a couple of month's work I think. [Hah! these took another 18 months to revise.] During this time I will also see the music for these books. Three points of view - word root repetition, music, and semantic domain. The first is objective, the second subject to computer-driven coded rules, and the third somewhat subjective, and lagging, and always under refinement as new data is uncovered.

But here is Zephaniah. The prophet is very positive in the third chapter. I realize I have been provocative occasionally. I don't trust some of the guesses that are in the past, like booty or spoil for עד, a word usually associated with forever or just a preposition, to/until. Anyway, while it may be necessary to adjust this elsewhere or later, I didn't see it as needed here.

Compare the use of prodigality to the psalms where it might be rendered prodigality or wantonness (both are extremes of a sort). In this chapter, it is noted that the human is abusing its prodigality. Could this not be read as abuse of the prodigality of creation, as appropriate to our time?

Where there is a carriage return (surely an anachronism) in the middle of a verse or sentence, that marks the atenach, or the rest point on the subdominant in the music. In most cases, it is a rest where one might expect it.

The music is in the usual place though my Google drive is a bit of a mess - lots of experimental and historical bits.

2 C She did not hear with the voice. She did not receive chastening.
In Yahweh she did not trust. To her God she did not draw near.

6 I have cut off nations. Their pinnacles are desolate. I have made their streets a desert. Nary a one passes by.
Laid waste are their cities, nary a person, without inhabitant.

7 I said, surely you will fear me, you will receive chastening, so her habitation will not be cut off. All that I visited on her.
Nevertheless they were insistent. They destroyed all their prodigality.

8 Therefore you tarry for me, this is an oracle of Yahweh, to the day of my arising for ever.
For my judgment is to gather nations, to collect kingdoms, to pour out on them my indignation, all my fierce anger, for in the fire of my jealousy, all the earth will be devoured.

11 B In that day, you will not be ashamed from all the prodigality by which you transgressed against me,
for then I will put aside from within you those who exult in your pride. You will not again be haughty any more in my holy mountain.

Have I got porcupine in my capitals, or bittern in the lintels

Or bats in my belfry? Here is Zephaniah 2, chapter 1 is here. There is a curious possible repetition of the strange word for watchers שׁרר in the Psalms - or it is a hitpolel root of singing שׁיר. I think the animals are metaphorical by the way.

Who will lead me to an enclosed city?

So begins the second half of Psalm 60 also reflected in Psalm 108. Either one gets giggles from the choir for the phrase 'Moab is my washpot'. Zephaniah picks up the idiom of the enclosed city. Here is my first cut at Zephaniah chapter 1 - you have to start somewhere with new work.

There is one surprising anomaly. I never read the preposition used for belonging (as in my beloved is mine and I am his) as meaning 'against' - so see if you can spot my workaround.

וְהָיָ֤ה חֵילָם֙ לִמְשִׁסָּ֔ה וּבָתֵּיהֶ֖ם לִשְׁמָמָ֑ה
וּבָנ֤וּ בָתִּים֙ וְלֹ֣א יֵשֵׁ֔בוּ וְנָטְע֣וּ כְרָמִ֔ים וְלֹ֥א יִשְׁתּ֖וּ אֶת־יֵינָֽם
13 And their wealth will become plunder and their houses desolate,
and they will build houses but not inhabit and they will plant vineyards and not imbibe their wine.

קָר֤וֹב יוֹם־יְהוָה֙ הַגָּד֔וֹל
קָר֖וֹב וּמַהֵ֣ר מְאֹ֑ד
ק֚וֹל י֣וֹם יְהוָ֔ה מַ֥ר צֹרֵ֖חַ שָׁ֥ם גִּבּֽוֹר
14 C Near is the great day of Yahweh,
near and most impetuous.
The voice of the day of Yahweh is bitter. There a valiant one screams.

י֥וֹם עֶבְרָ֖ה הַיּ֣וֹם הַה֑וּא
י֧וֹם צָרָ֣ה וּמְצוּקָ֗ה י֤וֹם שֹׁאָה֙ וּמְשׁוֹאָ֔ה י֥וֹם חֹ֙שֶׁךְ֙ וַאֲפֵלָ֔ה י֥וֹם עָנָ֖ן וַעֲרָפֶֽל
15 f A day of fury is that day,
a day of trouble and distress, a day of vanity and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of cloud and dark turbulence,
3c 4C 7

י֥וֹם שׁוֹפָ֖ר וּתְרוּעָ֑ה
עַ֚ל הֶעָרִ֣ים הַבְּצֻר֔וֹת וְעַ֖ל הַפִּנּ֥וֹת הַגְּבֹהֽוֹת
16 f a day of shophar and shout of triumph,
over the enclosed cities and over the haughty presence.

וַהֲצֵרֹ֣תִי לָאָדָ֗ם וְהָֽלְכוּ֙ כַּֽעִוְרִ֔ים כִּ֥י לַֽיהוָ֖ה חָטָ֑אוּ
וְשֻׁפַּ֤ךְ דָּמָם֙ כֶּֽעָפָ֔ר וּלְחֻמָ֖ם כַּגְּלָלִֽים
17 And I will be the adversary of humanity and they will walk like the blind for they that are Yahweh's, they sin.
And their blood will be poured out as dust and their intestines as a roll of dung.
3e 4C 20

גַּם־כַּסְפָּ֨ם גַּם־זְהָבָ֜ם לֹֽא־יוּכַ֣ל לְהַצִּילָ֗ם בְּיוֹם֙ עֶבְרַ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה וּבְאֵשׁ֙ קִנְאָת֔וֹ תֵּאָכֵ֖ל כָּל־הָאָ֑רֶץ
כִּֽי־כָלָ֤ה אַךְ־נִבְהָלָה֙ יַֽעֲשֶׂ֔ה אֵ֥ת כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵ֖י הָאָֽרֶץ ס
18 Even their silver, even their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of Yahweh's fury, but in the fire of his jealousy all the land will be devoured.
For surely, a consuming vexation he will make for all inhabitants of the land. S
