NETBible

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “the protected [or “preserved”] ones.”

²sn The question is purely rhetorical; it does not imply that the servant was dissatisfied with his commission or that he minimized the restoration of Israel.

³tn See the note at 42:6.

⁴tn Heb “be” (so KJV, ASV); CEV “you must take.”
