[7:23] 1 tn Heb “in that day.” The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.
[7:23] 2 tn Heb “will become” (so NASB); NAB “shall be turned to.”
[8:21] 3 tn Heb “he will pass through it.” The subject of the collective singular verb is the nation. (See the preceding note.) The immediately preceding context supplies no antecedent for “it” (a third feminine singular suffix in the Hebrew text); the suffix may refer to the land, which would be a reasonable referent with a verb of motion. Note also that אֶרֶץ (’erets, “land”) does appear at the beginning of the next verse.
[8:21] 4 tn The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.
[8:21] 5 tn Or “gods” (NAB, NRSV, CEV).
[20:6] 6 tn Heb “in that day” (so KJV).
[20:6] 7 sn This probably refers to the coastal region of Philistia (cf. TEV).
[22:2] 8 tn Heb “the boisterous town.” The phrase is parallel to “the noisy city” in the preceding line.
[22:2] 9 sn Apparently they died from starvation during the siege that preceded the final conquest of the city. See J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:409.
[22:9] 10 tn Heb “the breaks of the city of David, you saw that they were many.”
[23:2] 11 tn Or “keep quiet”; NAB “Silence!”
[23:2] 12 map For location see Map1 A1; JP3 F3; JP4 F3.
[24:15] 13 tc The Hebrew text reads literally, “in the lights,” interpreted by some to mean “in the region of light,” referring to the east. Some scholars have suggested the emendation of בָּאֻרִים (ba’urim) to בְּאִיֵּי הַיָּם (bÿ’iyyey hayyam, “along the seacoasts”), a phrase that is repeated in the next line. In this case, the two lines form synonymous parallelism. If one retains the MT reading (as above), “in the east” and “along the seacoasts” depict the two ends of the earth to refer to all the earth (as a merism).
[24:15] 14 tn The word “extol” is supplied in the translation; the verb in the first line does double duty in the parallelism.
[24:15] 15 tn Heb “name,” which here stands for God’s reputation achieved by his mighty deeds.
[26:10] 16 tn As in verse 9b, the translation understands צֶדֶק (tsedeq) in the sense of “justice,” but it is possible that it carries the nuance “righteousness,” in which case one might translate, “they do not learn to live in a righteous manner.”
[26:10] 17 tn Heb “in a land of uprightness they act unjustly”; NRSV “they deal perversely.”
[30:32] 18 tc The Hebrew text has “every blow from a founded [i.e., “appointed”?] cudgel.” The translation above, with support from a few medieval Hebrew
[30:32] 19 tn Heb “which the Lord lays on him.”
[30:32] 20 tn Heb “will be with” (KJV similar).
[30:32] 21 tn The Hebrew text reads literally, “and with battles of brandishing [weapons?] he will fight against him.” Some prefer to emend וּבְמִלְחֲמוֹת (uvÿmilkhamot, “and with battles of”) to וּבִמְחֹלוֹת (uvimkholot, “and with dancing”). Note the immediately preceding references to musical instruments.
[48:14] 22 sn This probably refers to the idol gods (see v. 5).
[48:14] 23 tn Or “friend,” or “covenant partner.”
[48:14] sn The
[48:14] 24 tn Heb “and his arm [against] the Babylonians.”
[48:20] 25 tn Heb “to the end of the earth” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV).
[48:20] 26 tn Heb “redeems.” See the note at 41:14.
[50:8] 27 tn Heb “Let us stand together!”
[50:8] 28 tn Heb “Who is the master of my judgment?”
[50:8] 29 tn Heb “let him approach me”; NAB, NIV “Let him confront me.”
[61:9] 30 tn Heb “all who see them will recognize them, that they [are] descendants [whom] the Lord has blessed.”
