Isaiah 7:21

7:21 At that time ¹  a man will keep alive a young cow from the herd and a couple of goats.

Isaiah 15:5

15:5 My heart cries out because of Moab’s plight, ² 

and for the fugitives ³  stretched out ⁴  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. ⁵ 

[7:21]  ¹ tn Heb “in that day.” The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[15:5]  ² tn Heb “for Moab.” For rhetorical purposes the speaker (the Lord?, see v. 9) plays the role of a mourner.

[15:5]  ³ 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]  ⁴ tn The words “are stretched out” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[15:5]  ⁵ 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.”
