Israel, my chosen one,

I call you by name

[7:3]  ¹ tn The name means “a remnant will return.” Perhaps in this context, where the Lord is trying to encourage Ahaz, the name suggests that only a few of the enemy invaders will return home; the rest will be defeated.

[7:3]  ² tn Heb “the field of the washer”; traditionally “the fuller’s field” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NRSV); NIV “the Washerman’s Field.”

[14:23]  ³ tn Heb “I will make her into a possession of wild animals.” It is uncertain what type of animal קִפֹּד (qippod) refers to. Some suggest a rodent (cf. NASB, NRSV “hedgehog”), others an owl (cf, NAB, NIV, TEV).

[14:23]  ⁴ tn Heb “I will sweep her away with the broom of destruction.”

[15:9]  ⁵ tc The Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a reads “Dibon” instead of “Dimon” in this verse.

[15:9]  ⁶ tn Heb “Indeed I will place on Dimon added things.” Apparently the Lord is speaking.

[15:9]  ⁷ tn The words “will attack” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[25:1]  ⁸ sn The prophet speaks here as one who has observed the coming judgment of the proud.

[25:1]  ⁹ tn Heb “name.” See the note at 24:15.

[25:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “plans from long ago [in] faithfulness, trustworthiness.” The feminine noun אֱמוּנָה (’emunah, “faithfulness”) and masculine noun אֹמֶן (’omen, “trustworthiness”), both of which are derived from the root אָמַן (’aman), are juxtaposed to emphasize the basic idea conveyed by the synonyms. Here they describe the absolute reliability of the divine plans.

[29:21]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the ones who make a man a sinner with a word.” The Hiphil of חָטָא (khata’) here has a delocutive sense: “declare a man sinful/guilty.”

[29:21]  ¹² sn Legal disputes were resolved at the city gate, where the town elders met. See Amos 5:10.

[29:21]  ¹³ tn Heb “and deprive by emptiness the innocent.”

[32:7]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “as for a deceiver, his implements [or “weapons”] are evil.”

[32:7]  ¹⁵ tn Or “he plans evil things”; NIV “he makes up evil schemes.”

[32:7]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “to ruin the poor with words of falsehood, even when the needy speak what is just.”

[45:3]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “treasures of darkness” (KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV); TEV “treasures from dark, secret places.”

[45:4]  ¹⁸ tn Or “know” (NCV, NRSV, TEV, NLT); NIV “acknowledge.”
