[24:14]  ¹ sn The remnant of the nations (see v. 13) may be the unspecified subject. If so, then those who have survived the judgment begin to praise God.

[24:14]  ² tn Heb “they yell out concerning.”

[12:6]  ³ sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.

[12:6]  ⁴ tn Or “is great” (TEV). However, the context emphasizes his mighty acts of deliverance (cf. NCV), not some general or vague character quality.

[52:9]  ⁵ tn Or “redeems.” See the note at 41:14.

[65:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “from the good of the heart.”

[65:14]  ⁸ tn Heb “from the pain of the heart.”

[65:14]  ⁹ tn Heb “from the breaking of the spirit.”

[16:10]  ⁹ tn Heb “wine in the vats the treader does not tread.”

[16:10]  ¹⁰ sn The Lord appears to be the speaker here. See 15:9.

[26:19]  ¹¹ sn At this point the Lord (or prophet) gives the people an encouraging oracle.

[26:19]  ¹² tn Heb “dust” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[26:19]  ¹³ tn Heb “for the dew of lights [is] your dew.” The pronominal suffix on “dew” is masculine singular, like the suffixes on “your dead” and “your corpses” in the first half of the verse. The statement, then, is addressed to collective Israel, the speaker in verse 18. The plural form אוֹרֹת (’orot) is probably a plural of respect or magnitude, meaning “bright light” (i.e., morning’s light). Dew is a symbol of fertility and life. Here Israel’s “dew,” as it were, will soak the dust of the ground and cause the corpses of the dead to spring up to new life, like plants sprouting up from well-watered soil.

[26:19]  ¹⁴ sn It is not certain whether the resurrection envisioned here is intended to be literal or figurative. A comparison with 25:8 and Dan 12:2 suggests a literal interpretation, but Ezek 37:1-14 uses resurrection as a metaphor for deliverance from exile and the restoration of the nation (see Isa 27:12-13).

[35:6]  ¹³ tn Heb “burst forth” (so NAB); KJV “break out.”

[35:6]  ¹⁴ tn Or “Arabah” (NASB); KJV, NIV, NRSV, NLT “desert.”

[49:13]  ¹⁵ tn Or “O heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heavens” or “sky” depending on the context.

[49:13]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “his” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[52:8]  ¹⁷ tn קוֹל (qol, “voice”) is used at the beginning of the verse as an interjection.

[52:8]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “eye in eye”; KJV, ASV “eye to eye”; NAB “directly, before their eyes.”

[61:7]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “instead of your shame, a double portion.”

[61:7]  ²⁰ tn Heb “and [instead of] humiliation they will rejoice [over] their portion.” The term תָחָת (takhat, “instead of”) is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).

[61:7]  ²¹ tn Heb “therefore” (so KJV, NASB); NIV “and so.”

[35:2]  ²¹ tn The ambiguous verb form תִּפְרַח (tifrakh) is translated as a jussive because it is parallel to the jussive form תָגֵל (tagel).

[35:2]  ²² tn Heb “and let it rejoice, yes [with] rejoicing and shouting.” גִּילַת (gilat) may be an archaic feminine nominal form (see GKC 421 §130.b).

[35:2]  ²³ tn Or “glory” (KJV, NIV, NRSV); also a second time later in this verse.

[44:23]  ²³ tn Heb “acts”; NASB, NRSV “has done it”; NLT “has done this wondrous thing.”

[44:23]  ²⁴ tn Heb “lower regions.” This refers to Sheol and forms a merism with “sky” in the previous line. See Pss 63:9; 71:20.

[44:23]  ²⁵ tn Heb “O forest and all the trees in it”; NASB, NRSV “and every tree in it.”

[44:23]  ²⁶ tn Heb “redeems.” See the note at 41:14.

[44:23]  ²⁷ tn That is, by delivering Israel. Cf. NCV “showed his glory when he saved Israel”; TEV “has shown his greatness by saving his people Israel.”
