Isaiah 15:5

their shoots spread out and cross the sea.

as a flagpole on a mountaintop

or a signal flag on a hill.”

Isaiah 37:3

I will make you a light to the nations, 15 

so you can bring 16  my deliverance to the remote regions of the earth.”

and to encourage the discouraged. 19

[15:5]  1 tn Heb “for Moab.” For rhetorical purposes the speaker (the Lord?, see v. 9) plays the role of a mourner.

[15:5]  2 tn The vocalization of the Hebrew text suggests “the bars of her gates,” but the form should be repointed to yield, “her fugitives.” See HALOT 156-57 s.v. בָּרִחַ, and BDB 138 s.v. בָּרִיהַ.

[15:5]  3 tn The words “are stretched out” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[15:5]  4 tn Heb “For the ascent of Luhith, with weeping they go up it; for [on] the road to Horonaim an outcry over shattering they raise up.”

[30:17]  5 tn Heb “One thousand from before [or “because of”] one battle cry.” גְּעָרָה (gÿarah) is often defined as “threat,” but in war contexts it likely refers to a shout or battle cry. See Ps 76:6.

[30:17]  6 tn Heb “from before [or “because of”] the battle cry of five you will flee.

[30:17]  7 tn Heb “until you are left” (so NAB, NASB, NRSV).

[37:3]  9 tn In the Hebrew text this verse begins with “they said to him” (cf. NRSV).

[37:3]  10 tn Or “rebuke” (KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV), or “correction.”

[37:3]  11 tn Or “contempt”; NAB, NIV, NRSV “disgrace.”

[37:3]  12 tn Heb “when sons come to the cervical opening and there is no strength to give birth.”

[39:6]  13 tn Heb “fathers” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV).

[49:6]  17 tn Heb “the protected [or “preserved”] ones.”

[49:6]  18 sn The question is purely rhetorical; it does not imply that the servant was dissatisfied with his commission or that he minimized the restoration of Israel.

[49:6]  19 tn See the note at 42:6.

[49:6]  20 tn Heb “be” (so KJV, ASV); CEV “you must take.”

[57:15]  21 tn Heb “the one who dwells forever.” שֹׁכֵן עַד (shokhenad) is sometimes translated “the one who lives forever,” and understood as a reference to God’s eternal existence. However, the immediately preceding and following descriptions (“high and exalted” and “holy”) emphasize his sovereign rule. In the next line, he declares, “I dwell in an exalted and holy [place],” which refers to the place from which he rules. Therefore it is more likely that שֹׁכֵן עַד (shokhenad) means “I dwell [in my lofty palace] forever” and refers to God’s eternal kingship.

[57:15]  22 tn Heb “and also with the crushed and lowly of spirit.” This may refer to the repentant who have humbled themselves (see 66:2) or more generally to the exiles who have experienced discouragement and humiliation.

[57:15]  23 tn Heb “to restore the lowly of spirit and to restore the heart of the crushed.”
