Micah 05 General Notes

Special concepts in this chapter

Messiah

This chapter contains a prophecy explaining that the messiah was to be born in Bethlehem. This meaning is made clear in the New Testament. (See: Micah 5:2, rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/christ)

Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter

Change in Personal Pronouns

Extra care must be taken in translating pronouns in this chapter. Sometimes "I" is a reference to the author and other times it is a reference to Yahweh. There is also a noticable shift where the author stops speaking about the people as "you" and begins speaking about them as "we" or "us."
