Isaiah 7:8-9
leader ...... leader <07218> [For the head.]
Dr. Jubb transposes the former part of ver. 9, and renders, "Though the head of Syria be Damascus; and the head of Damascus Retzin; and the head of Ephraim be Samaria; and the head of Samaria Remaliah's son; yet within threescore and five years Ephraim shall be broken, that he be no more a people." This renders the passage perfectly clear; and the prophecy received its full accomplishment when Esarhaddon carried away the remains of the ten tribes.
sixty-five <08346> [within.]
nation <05971> [that it be not a people. Heb. from a people.]
leader ...... leader <07218> [the head.]
firm ....... secure <0539> [If ye, etc. or, ye not believe? it is because ye are not stable.]
