Isaiah 15:9

15:9

Dimon .............. Dimon <01775> [Dimon.]

Some have Dibon; and Jerome says that the same town was called both Dibon and Dimon.

<03254> [more. Heb. additions.]

lion <0738> [lions.]

fugitives <06413> [him.]

Bp. Lowth, upon the authority of the LXX., renders, "upon the escaped of Moab, and Ariel, and the remnant of Admah."

Isaiah 20:3

20:3

three <07969> [three.]

object lesson <0226> [a sign.]

Egypt <04714> [upon Egypt.]

Isaiah 22:22

22:22

key <04668> [And the key.]

As the robe and the baldric, mentioned in the preceding verse, were the ensigns of power and authority; so likewise was the key the mark of office, either sacred or civil. To comprehend how the key could be borne on the shoulder, it will be sufficient to observe, that the ancient keys were of considerable magnitude, and much bent.

opens ................. open <06605> [so he.]

Isaiah 40:22

40:22

sits ....... inhabitants .......................... pitched <03427> [It is he that sitteth. or, Him that sitteth, etc.]

sits ....... inhabitants .......................... pitched <03427> [the inhabitants.]

He ...... stretches out <05186> [stretcheth.]

curtain <01852> [as a curtain.]

Or, "as a thin veil," as Bp. Lowth renders; which he illustrates by the following passage from Dr. Shaw. "It is usual in the summer season, and upon all occasions when a large company is to be received, to have the court sheltered from heat, or inclemency of the weather by a {velum,} umbrella, or veil, as I shall call it; which, being expanded on ropes from one end of the parapet to the other, may be folded or unfolded at pleasure. The Psalmist seems to allude to some covering of this kind, in that beautiful expression of spreading out the heavens as a curtain."
