Yesaya 7:6

7:6 They say, “Let’s attack Judah, terrorize it, and conquer it. ²⁴  Then we’ll set up the son of Tabeel as its king.” ²⁵ 

[24:24]  ¹ tn Heb “though with a small amount of men the army of Aram came, the Lord gave into their hand an army [that was] very large.”

[24:24]  ² tn Heb “they”; the referent (the people of Judah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:24]  ³ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Syrians) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:24]  ⁴ tn Heb “executed judgments [on] Joash.”

[33:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “and they seized him with hooks.”

[36:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “killed with the sword.”

[36:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “in the house of their sanctuary.”

[36:17]  ⁸ tn Or “show compassion to.”

[36:17]  ⁹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:14]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “the seventh from Adam.”

[1:14]  sn The genealogical count is inclusive, counting Adam as the first, for Enoch is really the sixth in descent from Adam (Adam, Seth, Enosh, Cainan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch). In this way, the picture of perfection/completion was retained (for the number seven is often used for perfection or completion in the Bible) starting with Adam and concluding with Enoch.

[1:14]  ¹¹ tn Grk “against them.” The dative τούτοις (toutois) is a dativus incommodi (dative of disadvantage).

[1:14]  ¹² tn Grk “has come,” a proleptic aorist.

[1:14]  ¹³ tn Grk “ten thousands.” The word μυριάς (muria"), from which the English myriad is derived, means “ten thousand.” In the plural it means “ten thousands.” This would mean, minimally, 20,000 (a multiple of ten thousand). At the same time, the term was often used in apocalyptic literature to represent simply a rather large number, without any attempt to be specific.

[1:2]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “may mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.”

[16:5]  ¹⁵ tn BDAG 437 s.v. ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase.

[16:6]  ¹⁶ sn Phrygia was a district in central Asia Minor west of Pisidia.

[16:6]  ¹⁷ sn Galatia refers to either (1) the region of the old kingdom of Galatia in the central part of Asia Minor (North Galatia), or (2) the Roman province of Galatia, whose principal cities in the 1st century were Ancyra and Pisidian Antioch (South Galatia). The exact extent and meaning of this area has been a subject of considerable controversy in modern NT studies.

[16:6]  ¹⁸ tn Or “forbidden.”

[16:6]  ¹⁹ tn Or “word.”

[16:6]  ²⁰ tn Grk “Asia”; in the NT this always refers to the Roman province of Asia, made up of about one-third of the west and southwest end of modern Asia Minor. Asia lay to the west of the region of Phrygia and Galatia. The words “the province of” are supplied to indicate to the modern reader that this does not refer to the continent of Asia.

[7:1]  ²¹ tn The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[7:1]  ²³ tn Or perhaps, “but they were unable to attack it.” This statement sounds like a summary of the whole campaign. The following context explains why they were unable to defeat the southern kingdom. The parallel passage (2 Kgs 16:5; cf. Num 22:11; 1 Sam 17:9 for a similar construction) affirms that Syria and Israel besieged Ahaz. Consequently, the statement that “they were not able to battle against them” must refer to the inability to conquer Ahaz.

[7:6]  ²⁴ tn Heb “and let us break it open for ourselves”; NASB “make for ourselves a breach in its walls”; NLT “fight our way into.”

[7:6]  ²⁵ tn Heb “and we will make the son of Tabeel king in its midst.”

[7:6]  sn The precise identity of this would-be puppet king is unknown. He may have been a Syrian official or the ruler of one of the small neighboring states. See Y. Aharoni, Land of the Bible, 370.
