1 Raja-raja 18:24

18:24 Then you ¹  will invoke the name of your god, and I will invoke the name of the Lord. The god who responds with fire will demonstrate that he is the true God.” ²  All the people responded, “This will be a fair test.” ³ 

Mazmur 20:2

20:2 May he send you help from his temple; ⁴ 

from Zion may he give you support!

Yesaya 59:19

59:19 In the west, people respect ⁵  the Lord’s reputation; ⁶ 

in the east they recognize his splendor. ⁷ 

For he comes like a rushing ⁸  stream

driven on by wind sent from the Lord. ⁹ 

[18:24]  ¹ tn Elijah now directly addresses the prophets.

[18:24]  ² tn Heb “the God.”

[18:24]  ³ tn Heb “The matter [i.e., proposal] is good [i.e., acceptable].”

[20:2]  ⁴ tc Heb “from [the] temple.” The third masculine singular pronominal suffix (ן, nun) has probably been accidentally omitted by haplography. Note that the following word begins with a prefixed vav (ו). See P. C. Craigie, Psalms 1-50 (WBC), 184.

[59:19]  ⁵ tc Heb “fear.” A few medieval Hebrew mss read “see.”

[59:19]  ⁶ tn Heb “and they fear from the west the name of the Lord.”

[59:19]  ⁷ tn Heb “and from the rising of the sun his splendor.”

[59:19]  ⁸ tn Heb “narrow”; NAB, NIV, NRSV “pent-up.”

[59:19]  ⁹ tn Heb “the wind of the Lord drives it on.” The term רוּחַ (ruakh) could be translated “breath” here (see 30:28).
