Isaiah 56:4-6

56:4 For this is what the Lord says:

“For the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths

and choose what pleases me

and are faithful to ¹  my covenant,

56:5 I will set up within my temple and my walls a monument ² 

that will be better than sons and daughters.

I will set up a permanent monument ³  for them that will remain.

56:6 As for foreigners who become followers of ⁴  the Lord and serve him,

who love the name of the Lord and want to be his servants –

all who observe the Sabbath and do not defile it,

and who are faithful to ⁵  my covenant –

[56:4]  ¹ tn Heb “and take hold of” (so KJV); NASB “hold fast.”

[56:5]  ² tn Heb “a hand and a name.” For other examples where יָד (yad) refers to a monument, see HALOT 388 s.v.

[56:5]  ³ tn Heb “name” (so KJV, NIV, NRSV).

[56:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “who attach themselves to.”

[56:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “and take hold of”; NAB “hold to”; NIV, NRSV “hold fast.”
