Isaiah 39:7

39:7 ‘Some of your very own descendants whom you father ¹  will be taken away and will be made eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’”

Isaiah 56:3-4

56:3 No foreigner who becomes a follower of ²  the Lord should say,

‘The Lord will certainly ³  exclude me from his people.’

The eunuch should not say,

‘Look, I am like a dried-up tree.’”

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 ⁴  my covenant,

¹ tn Heb “Some of your sons, who go out from you, whom you father.”

² tn Heb “who attaches himself to.”

³ tn The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis.

⁴ tn Heb “and take hold of” (so KJV); NASB “hold fast.”
