Yesaya 17:6
Konteks17:6 There will be some left behind,
like when an olive tree is beaten –
two or three ripe olives remain toward the very top,
four or five on its fruitful branches,”
says the Lord God of Israel.
Yesaya 45:8
Konteks45:8 O sky, rain down from above!
Let the clouds send down showers 1 of deliverance!
Let the earth absorb it 2 so salvation may grow, 3
and deliverance may sprout up 4 along with it.
I, the Lord, create it. 5
[45:8] 1 tn Heb “let the clouds drip with”; KJV “let the skies pour down.”
[45:8] 2 tn Heb “open up” (so NASB); NIV, NLT “open wide.”
[45:8] 3 tc The plural verb should be emended to a singular form. The vav (ו) ending is probably virtually dittographic (note the yod at the beginning of the following word).
[45:8] 4 tc The Hiphil verb form (תַצְמִיחַ, tatsmiakh) should probably be emended to a Qal (תִצְמַח, titsmakh). The יח sequence at the end of the form is probably due to dittography (note the following יַחַד, yakhad).
[45:8] 5 tn The masculine singular pronominal suffix probably refers back to יָשַׁע (yasha’, “salvation”).
