But they will be very few indeed! 3  Then the Judean remnant who have come to live in the land of Egypt will know whose word proves true, 4  mine or theirs.’

[44:27]  1 tn Heb “Behold I.” For the use of this particle see the translator’s note on 1:6. Here it announces the reality of a fact.

[44:27]  2 tn Heb “Behold, I am watching over them for evil/disaster/harm not for good/prosperity/ blessing.” See a parallel usage in 31:28.

[44:28]  3 tn Heb “The survivors of the sword will return from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah few in number [more literally, “men of number”; for the idiom see BDB 709 s.v. מִסְפָּר 1.a].” The term “survivors of the sword” may be intended to represent both those who survive death in war or death by starvation or disease, a synecdoche of species for all three genera.

[44:28]  4 tn Heb “will stand,” i.e., in the sense of being fulfilled, proving to be true, or succeeding (see BDB 878 s.v. קוּם 7.g).

[11:22]  5 tn Heb “Yahweh of armies.”

[11:22]  6 tn Heb “Behold I will.” For the function of this particle see the translator’s note on 1:6.

[11:22]  7 tn Heb “will die by the sword.” Here “sword” stands contextually for “battle” while “starvation” stands for death by starvation during siege.

[21:9]  8 tn Heb “his life will be to him for spoil.”

[24:10]  9 sn See Jer 14:12 and the study note there.

[24:10]  10 tn Heb “fathers.”

[42:18]  11 tn Or “Indeed.”

[42:18]  12 tn Heb “Yahweh of armies, the God of Israel.” See the study note on 2:19 for the translation and significance of this title.

[42:18]  13 map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[42:18]  14 tn See the study note on 24:9 and the usage in 29:22 for the meaning and significance of this last phrase.

[42:18]  15 tn Or “land.” The reference is, of course, to the land of Judah.

[43:11]  16 tn As in 15:2 the Hebrew is very brief and staccato-like: “those to death to death, and those to captivity to captivity, and those to the sword to the sword.” As in 15:2 most commentaries and English versions assume that the word “death” refers to death by disease. See the translator’s note on 15:2 and compare also 18:21 where the sword is distinctly connected with “war” or “battle” and is distinct from “killed by death [i.e., disease].”
