Yesaya 8:13

8:13 You must recognize the authority of the Lord who commands armies. ¹ 

He is the one you must respect;

he is the one you must fear. ² 

Yesaya 60:2

60:2 For, look, darkness covers the earth

and deep darkness covers ³  the nations,

but the Lord shines on you;

his splendor ⁴  appears over you.

[8:13]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts], him you must set apart.” The word order is emphatic, with the object being placed first.

[8:13]  ² tn Heb “he is your [object of] fear, he is your [object of] terror.” The roots יָרֵא (yare’) and עָרַץ (’arats) are repeated from v. 12b.

[60:2]  ³ tn The verb “covers” is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).

[60:2]  ⁴ tn Or “glory” (so most English versions); TEV “the brightness of his presence.”
