11:7 A cow and a bear will graze together,
their young will lie down together. 2
A lion, like an ox, will eat straw.
65:10 Sharon 3 will become a pasture for sheep,
and the Valley of Achor 4 a place where cattle graze; 5
they will belong to my people, who seek me. 6
1 tn Heb “in that day.” The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.
2 tn Heb “and a cow and a bear will graze – together – they will lie down, their young.” This is a case of pivot pattern; יַחְדָּו (yakhddav, “together”) goes with both the preceding and following statements.
3 sn Sharon was a plain located to the west, along the Mediterranean coast north of Joppa and south of Carmel.
4 sn The Valley of Achor (“Achor” means “trouble” in Hebrew) was the site of Achan’s execution. It was located to the east, near Jericho.
5 tn Heb “a resting place for cattle”; NASB, NIV “for herds.”
6 tn Heb “for my people who seek me.”
