66:20 They will bring back all your countrymen ⁸  from all the nations as an offering to the Lord. They will bring them ⁹  on horses, in chariots, in wagons, on mules, and on camels ¹⁰  to my holy hill Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “just as the Israelites bring offerings to the Lord’s temple in ritually pure containers.

[11:12]  ¹ tn Or “the banished of Israel,” i.e., the exiles.

[27:13]  ² tn Heb “and it will be in that day.” The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[56:8]  ⁷ tn The meaning of the statement is unclear. The text reads literally, “Still I will gather upon him to his gathered ones.” Perhaps the preposition -לְ (lamed) before “gathered ones” introduces the object of the verb, as in Jer 49:5. The third masculine singular suffix on both עָלָיו (’alayv) and נִקְבָּצָיו (niqbatsayv) probably refers to “Israel.” In this case one can translate literally, “Still I will gather to him his gathered ones.”

[66:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “brothers” (so NIV); NCV “fellow Israelites.”

[66:20]  ⁹ tn The words “they will bring them” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[66:20]  ¹⁰ tn The precise meaning of this word is uncertain. Some suggest it refers to “chariots.” See HALOT 498 s.v. *כִּרְכָּרָה.
