Footnotes

  1. Isaiah 19:24 tn Heb “will be a blessing” (so NCV).
  2. Isaiah 19:24 tn Or “land” (KJV, NAB).
  3. Isaiah 19:25 tn Heb “which the Lord of Heaven’s Armies [traditionally, “the Lord of hosts”] will bless [it], saying.” The third masculine singular suffix on the form בֵּרֲכוֹ (berakho) should probably be emended to a third feminine singular suffix בֵּרֲכָהּ (berakhah), for its antecedent would appear to be the feminine noun אֶרֶץ (ʾerets, “earth”) at the end of v. 24.
  4. Isaiah 19:25 tn Or “my inheritance” (NAB, NASB, NIV).
