49:12 Look, they come from far away!
Look, some come from the north and west,
and others from the land of Sinim! 1
[49:12] 1 tc The MT reads “Sinim” here; the Dead Sea Scrolls read “Syene,” a location in Egypt associated with modern Aswan. A number of recent translations adopt this reading: “Syene” (NAB, NRSV); “Aswan” (NIV); “Egypt” (NLT).
