[53:6]  1 tn This refers metonymically to God, the one who lives in Zion and provides deliverance for Israel.

[53:6]  2 tn Heb “turns with a turning [toward] his people.” The Hebrew term שְׁבוּת (shÿvut) is apparently a cognate accusative of שׁוּב (shuv).

[53:6]  3 tn The verb form is jussive.

[53:6]  4 tn Because the parallel verb is jussive, this verb, which is ambiguous in form, should be taken as a jussive as well.
