Isaiah 19:21-22

19:21 The Lord will reveal himself to the Egyptians, and they ¹  will acknowledge the Lord’s authority ²  at that time. ³  They will present sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the Lord and fulfill them. 19:22 The Lord will strike Egypt, striking and then healing them. They will turn to the Lord and he will listen to their prayers ⁴  and heal them.

¹ tn Heb “Egypt.” For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, the present translation uses the pronoun (“they”) here.

² tn Heb “will know the Lord.”

³ tn Heb “in that day” (so KJV), likewise at the beginning of vv. 23 and 24.

⁴ tn Heb “he will be entreated.” The Niphal has a tolerative sense here, “he will allow himself to be entreated.”
