There is strong evidence for reading Hab 2,3b as an oath introduced by the word אם rather than as a conditional statement. Oaths introduced by אם are well-known in biblical Hebrew, and when 2,3b is read as an oath, it possesses greater clarity, stronger poetic parallelism, and increased thematic continuity with the surrounding verses. The oath of Hab 2,3b has implications for the meaning of Hab 2,2–4, in which it is possible to interpret the קורא of 2,2b as a herald who unifies the various actions and characteristics present in 2,2–4. This herald finds parallels in the heavenly messengers of Mal 3,1–5 and Isa 40,1–8, who prepare the way for the arrival of Yahweh, just as the herald in Hab 2,2–4 prepares for the theophany described in Hab 3.
