Isaiah 19:24

19:24 At that time Israel will be the third member of the group, along with Egypt and Assyria, and will be a recipient of blessing ¹  in the earth. ² 

Isaiah 37:30

37:30 ³ “This will be your reminder that I have spoken the truth: ⁴  This year you will eat what grows wild, ⁵  and next year ⁶  what grows on its own. But the year after that ⁷  you will plant seed and harvest crops; you will plant vines and consume their produce. ⁸ 

Isaiah 15:5

15:5 My heart cries out because of Moab’s plight, ⁹ 

and for the fugitives ¹⁰  stretched out ¹¹  as far as Zoar and Eglath Shelishiyah.

For they weep as they make their way up the ascent of Luhith;

they loudly lament their demise on the road to Horonaim. ¹² 

[19:24]  ¹ tn Heb “will be a blessing” (so NCV).

[19:24]  ² tn Or “land” (KJV, NAB).

[37:30]  ³ tn At this point the word concerning the king of Assyria (vv. 22-29) ends and the Lord again addresses Hezekiah and the people directly (see v. 21).

[37:30]  ⁴ tn Heb “and this is your sign.” In this case the אוֹת (’ot, “sign”) is a future reminder of God’s intervention designated before the actual intervention takes place. For similar “signs” see Exod 3:12 and Isa 7:14-25.

[37:30]  ⁵ sn This refers to crops that grew up on their own (that is, without cultivation) from the seed planted in past years.

[37:30]  ⁶ tn Heb “and in the second year” (so ASV).

[37:30]  ⁷ tn Heb “in the third year” (so KJV, NAB).

[37:30]  ⁸ tn The four plural imperatival verb forms in v. 30b are used rhetorically. The Lord commands the people to plant, harvest, etc. to emphasize the certainty of restored peace and prosperity.

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

[15:5]  ⁶ 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]  ⁷ tn The words “are stretched out” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[15:5]  ⁸ 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.”
