[11:6]  ¹ tn The verb גּוּר (gur) normally refers to living as a dependent, resident alien in another society.

[11:6]  ² tc The Hebrew text reads, “and an ox, and a young lion, and a fatling together.” Since the preceding lines refer to two animals and include a verb, many emend וּמְרִיא (umÿri’, “and the fatling”) to an otherwise unattested verb יִמְרְאוּ (yimrÿ’u, “they will graze”); cf. NAB, TEV, CEV. One of the Qumran copies of Isaiah confirms this suggestion (1QIsa^a). The present translation assumes this change.

[11:14]  ³ tn Heb “fly.” Ephraim/Judah are compared to a bird of prey.

[11:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “on the shoulder of Philistia toward the sea.” This refers to the slopes of the hill country west of Judah. See HALOT 506 s.v. כָּתֵף.

[11:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “Edom and Moab [will be the place of] the outstretching of their hand,” i.e., included in their area of jurisdiction (see HALOT 648 s.v. ח(וֹ)מִשְׁלֹ).

[18:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “they will be left together” (so NASB).

[18:6]  ⁶ tn Heb “the beasts of the earth” (so KJV, NASB).

[41:20]  ⁷ tn The words “I will do this” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The Hebrew text has here simply, “in order that.”

[41:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “they”; NAB, NRSV “that all may see”; CEV, NLT “Everyone will see.”

[41:20]  ⁹ tn Heb “hand” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[41:20]  ¹⁰ tn Or “created it” (KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV); TEV “has made it happen.”

[41:23]  ⁹ tn Heb “Declare the coming things, with respect to the end.”

[41:23]  ¹⁰ tc The translation assumes the Qere (וְנִרְאֶה [vÿnir’eh], from יָרֵא [yare’], “be afraid”).

[43:9]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and the former things was causing us to hear?”

[52:8]  ¹³ tn קוֹל (qol, “voice”) is used at the beginning of the verse as an interjection.

[52:8]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “eye in eye”; KJV, ASV “eye to eye”; NAB “directly, before their eyes.”

[60:13]  ¹⁵ tn Or “holy place, sanctuary.”

[60:13]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “the place of my feet.” See Ezek 43:7, where the Lord’s throne is called the “place of the soles of my feet.”

[66:17]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “the ones who consecrate themselves and the ones who purify themselves toward the orchards [or “gardens”] after the one in the midst.” The precise meaning of the statement is unclear, though it is obvious that some form of idolatry is in view.

[66:17]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “ones who eat the flesh of the pig and the disgusting thing and the mouse.”

[66:17]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “together they will come to an end.”
