[12:6]  ¹ sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.

[12:6]  ² tn Or “is great” (TEV). However, the context emphasizes his mighty acts of deliverance (cf. NCV), not some general or vague character quality.

[43:3]  ³ sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.

[43:3]  ⁴ sn Seba is not the same as Sheba in southern Arabia; cf. Gen 1:10; 1 Chr 1:9.

[43:14]  ⁵ tn Or “kinsman redeemer.” See the note at 41:14.

[43:14]  ⁶ sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.

[43:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “and I bring down [as] fugitives all of them.”

[43:14]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew text reads literally, “as for the Babylonians, in ships their joyful shout.” This might be paraphrased, “even the Babylonians in the ships [over which] they joyfully shouted.” The point would be that the Lord caused the Babylonians to flee for safety in the ships in which they took such great pride. A slight change in vocalization yields the reading “into mourning songs,” which provides a good contrast with “joyful shout.” The prefixed bet (בְּ) would indicate identity.

[55:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “a nation,” but the singular is collective here, as the plural verbs in the next line indicate (note that both “know” and “run” are third plural forms).

[55:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “a nation,” but the singular is collective here, as the plural verbs that follow indicate.
