Isaiah 27:6

27:6 The time is coming when Jacob will take root; ¹ 

Israel will blossom and grow branches.

The produce ²  will fill the surface of the world. ³ 

Zechariah 1:17

1:17 Speak up again with the message of the Lord who rules over all: ‘My cities will once more overflow with prosperity, and once more the Lord will comfort Zion and validate his choice of Jerusalem.’”

Zechariah 2:12

2:12 The Lord will take possession of ⁴  Judah as his portion in the holy land and he will choose Jerusalem once again.

¹ tc The Hebrew text reads literally, “the coming ones, let Jacob take root.” הַבָּאִים (habba’im, “the coming ones”) should probably be emended to יָמִים בָאִים (yamim va’im, “days [are] coming”) or בְּיָמִים הַבָּאִים (biyamim habba’im, “in the coming days”).

² tn Heb “fruit” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

³ sn This apparently refers to a future population explosion. See 26:18.

⁴ tn Heb “will inherit” (so NIV, NRSV).
