Zephaniah / Question
Question source
Zephaniah
Zephaniah describes a day of cries from various places in Jerusalem and mentions the “Maktesh.” In the passage it is tied to merchants being cut down and those who weigh out silver being cut off (Zephaniah 1:10–11).
10In that day, says Yahweh, there will be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, a wailing from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills.
11Wail, you inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are undone! All those who were laden with silver are cut off.
