Yesaya 46:8

46:8 Remember this, so you can be brave! ¹ 

Think about it, you rebels! ² 

Zakharia 10:9

10:9 Though I scatter ³  them among the nations, they will remember in far-off places – they and their children will sprout forth and return.

[46:8]  ¹ tn The meaning of the verb אָשַׁשׁ (’ashash, which appears here in the Hitpolel stem) is uncertain. BDB 84 s.v. אשׁשׁ relates it to a root meaning “found, establish” in Arabic; HALOT 100 s.v. II אשׁשׁ gives the meaning “pluck up courage.” The imperative with vav (ו) may indicate purpose following the preceding imperative.

[46:8]  ² tn Heb “return [it], rebels, to heart”; NRSV “recall it to mind, you transgressors.”

[10:9]  ³ tn Or “sow” (so KJV, ASV). The imagery is taken from the sowing of seed by hand.
