Yesaya 25:7

25:7 On this mountain he will swallow up

the shroud that is over all the peoples, ¹ 

the woven covering that is over all the nations; ² 

Yesaya 60:2-3

60:2 For, look, darkness covers the earth

and deep darkness covers ³  the nations,

but the Lord shines on you;

his splendor ⁴  appears over you.

60:3 Nations come to your light,

kings to your bright light.

[25:7]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text reads, “the face of the shroud, the shroud over all the nations.” Some emend the second הַלּוֹט (hallot) to a passive participle הַלּוּט (hallut, “that is wrapped”).

[25:7]  ² sn The point of the imagery is unclear. Perhaps the shroud/covering referred to was associated with death in some way (see v. 8).

[60:2]  ³ tn The verb “covers” is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).

[60:2]  ⁴ tn Or “glory” (so most English versions); TEV “the brightness of his presence.”
