Joel 3:14
_ _ The prophet in vision seeing the immense array of nations congregating, exclaims, “Multitudes, multitudes!” a Hebraism for immense multitudes.
_ _ valley of decision — that is, the valley in which they are to meet their “determined doom.” The same as “the valley of Jehoshaphat,” that is, “the valley of judgment” (see on Joel 3:2). Compare Joel 3:12, “there will I sit to judge,” which confirms English Version rather than Margin, “threshing.” The repetition of “valley of decision” heightens the effect and pronounces the awful certainty of their doom. |
