Yesaya 11:12

11:12 He will lift a signal flag for the nations;

he will gather Israel’s dispersed people ¹ 

and assemble Judah’s scattered people

from the four corners of the earth.

Yesaya 43:5

43:5 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.

From the east I will bring your descendants;

from the west I will gather you.

Yesaya 49:18

49:18 Look all around you! ² 

All of them gather to you.

As surely as I live,” says the Lord,

“you will certainly wear all of them like jewelry;

you will put them on as if you were a bride.

Yesaya 56:8

56:8 The sovereign Lord says this,

the one who gathers the dispersed of Israel:

“I will still gather them up.” ³ 

Yesaya 60:4

60:4 Look all around you! ⁴ 

They all gather and come to you –

your sons come from far away

and your daughters are escorted by guardians.

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

[49:18]  ² tn Heb “Lift up around your eyes and see.”

[56:8]  ³ 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.”

[60:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “Lift up around your eyes and see!”
