[7:8]  1 tn Heb “Ephraim will be too shattered to be a nation”; NIV “to be a people.”

[19:18]  2 sn The significance of the number “five” in this context is uncertain. For a discussion of various proposals, see J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:376-77.

[19:18]  3 tc The Hebrew text has עִיר הַהֶרֶס (’ir haheres, “City of Destruction”; cf. NASB, NIV) but this does not fit the positive emphasis of vv. 18-22. The Qumran scroll 1QIsaa and some medieval Hebrew mss read עִיר הָחֶרֶס (’ir hakheres, “City of the Sun,” i.e., Heliopolis). This reading also finds support from Symmachus’ Greek version, the Targum, and the Vulgate. See HALOT 257 s.v. חֶרֶס and HALOT 355 s.v. II חֶרֶס.

[37:36]  3 tn Traditionally, “the angel of the Lord” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[37:36]  4 tn The word “troops” is supplied in the translation for smoothness and clarity.

[37:36]  5 tn This refers to the Israelites and/or the rest of the Assyrian army.

[37:36]  6 tn Heb “look, all of them were dead bodies”; NLT “they found corpses everywhere.”
