[11:10]  ¹ tn Or “in that day” (KJV). The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[11:10]  ² sn See the note at v. 1.

[11:10]  ³ tn Heb “ a root from Jesse, which stands for a signal flag of the nations, of him nations will inquire” [or “seek”].

[16:6]  ⁴ tn עֶבְרָה (’evrah) often means “anger, fury,” but here it appears to refer to boastful outbursts or excessive claims. See HALOT 782 s.v. עֶבְרָה.

[16:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “not so his boasting.”

[23:3]  ⁶ tc The Hebrew text (23:2b-3a) reads literally, “merchant of Sidon, the one who crosses the sea, they filled you, and on the deep waters.” Instead of מִלְאוּךְ (mil’ukh, “they filled you”) the Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a reads מלאכיך (“your messengers”). The translation assumes an emendation of מִלְאוּךְ to מַלְאָכָו (mal’akhav, “his messengers”), taking the vav (ו) on וּבְמַיִם (uvÿmayim) as improperly placed; instead it should be the final letter of the preceding word.

[23:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “seed of Shihor.” “Shihor” probably refers to the east branch of the Nile. See Jer 2:18 and BDB 1009 s.v. שִׁיחוֹר.

[23:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “the harvest of the Nile.”

[23:3]  ⁹ tn Heb “[is] her revenue.”

[24:13]  ¹¹ tn Heb “in the midst of” (so KJV, ASV, NASB).

[24:13]  ¹² sn The judgment will severely reduce the earth’s population. See v. 6.

[47:5]  ¹³ tn Heb “darkness,” which may indicate a place of hiding where a fugitive would seek shelter and protection.

[47:5]  ¹⁴ tn Or “For” (NASB, NRSV).

[49:1]  ¹⁵ tn Or “islands” (NASB, NIV); NLT “in far-off lands.”

[49:1]  sn The Lord’s special servant, introduced in chap. 42, speaks here of his commission.

[49:1]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “called me from the womb.”

[49:1]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “from the inner parts of my mother he mentioned my name.”

[51:20]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “those who are full of the anger of the Lord, the shout [or “rebuke”] of your God.”

[52:10]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “lays bare”; NLT “will demonstrate.”

[52:10]  ²⁰ tn Heb “his holy arm.” This is a metonymy for his power.

[52:10]  ²¹ tn Heb “the remote regions,” which here stand for the extremities and everything in between.

[52:10]  ²² tn Heb “the deliverance of our God.” “God” is a subjective genitive here.

[60:16]  ²³ sn The nations and kings are depicted as a mother nursing her children. Restored Zion will be nourished by them as she receives their wealth as tribute.

[60:16]  ²⁴ tn Or “redeemer.” See the note at 41:14.

[60:16]  ²⁵ sn See 1:24 and 49:26.
