Text -- Isaiah 19:24-25 (NET)

19:24 At that time Israel will be the third member of the group, along with Egypt and Assyria, and will be a recipient of blessing in the earth. 19:25 The Lord who commands armies will pronounce a blessing over the earth, saying, “Blessed be my people, Egypt, and the work of my hands, Assyria, and my special possession, Israel!”

Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Isa 19:24

¹ tn Heb “will be a blessing” (so NCV).

² tn Or “land” (KJV, NAB).

NET Notes: Isa 19:25

¹ tn Heb “which the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts] will bless [it], saying.” The third masculine singular suffix on the form בֵּרֲכוֹ (berakho) should probably be emended to a third feminine singular suffix בֵּרֲכָהּ (berakhah), for its antecedent would appear to be the feminine noun אֶרֶץ (’erets, “earth”) at the end of v. 24.

² tn Or “my inheritance” (NAB, NASB, NIV).
