Isaiah 49:10

49:10 They will not be hungry or thirsty;

the sun’s oppressive heat will not beat down on them, ¹ 

for one who has compassion on them will guide them;

he will lead them to springs of water.

Jonah 4:7-8

4:7 So God sent ²  a worm at dawn the next day, and it attacked the little plant so that it dried up. 4:8 When the sun began to shine, God sent ³  a hot ⁴  east wind. So the sun beat down ⁵  on Jonah’s head, and he grew faint. So he despaired of life, ⁶  and said, “I would rather die than live!” ⁷ 

Matthew 13:6

13:6 But when the sun came up, they were scorched, and because they did not have sufficient root, they withered.

Mark 4:6

4:6 When the sun came up it was scorched, and because it did not have sufficient root, ⁸  it withered.

¹ tn Heb “and the heat and the sun will not strike them.” In Isa 35:7, its only other occurrence in the OT, שָׁרָב (sharav) stands parallel to “parched ground” and in contrast to “pool.” In later Hebrew and Aramaic it refers to “dry heat, heat of the sun” (Jastrow 1627 s.v.). Here it likely has this nuance and forms a hendiadys with “sun.”

² tn Or “appointed.” The verb מָנָה (manah) in the Piel stem means “to send, to appoint” (Ps 61:8; Jonah 2:1; 4:6-8; Dan 1:5, 10-11; HALOT 599 s.v. מנה 2; BDB 584 s.v. מָנָה).

³ tn Or “appointed.” See preceding note on v. 7.

⁴ tc The MT adjective חֲרִישִׁית (kharishit, “autumnal”) is a hapax legomenon with an unclear meaning (BDB 362 s.v. חֲרִישִׁי); therefore, the BHS editors propose a conjectural emendation to the adjective חֲרִיפִית (kharifit, “autumnal”) from the noun חֹרֶף (khoref, “autumn”; see BDB 358 s.v. חרֶף). However, this emendation would also create a hapax legomenon and it would be no more clear than relating the MT’s חֲרִישִׁית to I חָרַשׁ (kharash, “to plough” [in autumn harvest]).

⁵ tn Heb “attacked” or “smote.”

⁶ tn Heb “he asked his soul to die.”

⁷ tn Heb “better my death than my life.”

⁸ tn Grk “it did not have root.”
