Isaiah 11:11

Context
11:11 At that time⁶ the sovereign master⁷ will again lift his hand⁸ to reclaim⁹ the remnant of his people¹⁰ from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros,¹¹ Cush,¹² Elam, Shinar,¹³ Hamath, and the seacoasts.¹⁴

[10:20] ¹tn Or “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.

[10:20] ²tn Heb “house” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[10:20] ³tn Heb “on one who strikes him down.” This individual is the king (“foreign leader”) of the oppressing nation (which NLT specifies as “the Assyrians”).

[10:20] ⁴tn Or “sincerely”; KJV, ASV, NAB, NRSV “in truth.”

[10:20] ⁵sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.

[11:11] ⁶tn Or “in that day” (KJV). The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[11:11] ⁷tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonai).

[11:11] ⁸tc The Hebrew text reads, “the sovereign master will again, a second time, his hand.” The auxiliary verb יוֹסִיף (yosif), which literally means “add,” needs a main verb to complete it. Consequently many emend שֵׁנִית (shenit, “a second time”) to an infinitive. Some propose the form שַׁנֹּת (shannot, a Piel infinitive construct from שָׁנָה, shanah) and relate it semantically to an Arabic cognate meaning “to be high.” If the Hebrew text is retained a verb must be supplied. “Second time” would allude back to the events of the Exodus (see vv. 15-16).

[11:11] ⁹tn Or “acquire”; KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV “recover.”

[11:11] ¹⁰tn Heb “the remnant of his people who remain.”

[11:11] ¹¹sn Perhaps a reference to Upper (i.e., southern) Egypt (so NIV, NLT; NCV “South Egypt”).

[11:11] ¹²tn Or “Ethiopia” (NAB, NRSV, NLT).

[11:11] ¹³tn Or “Babylonia” (NIV, NCV, TEV, NLT).

[11:11] ¹⁴tn Or perhaps, “the islands of the sea.”
