Yesaya 11:10

Israel is Reclaimed and Reunited

11:10 At that time ¹  a root from Jesse ²  will stand like a signal flag for the nations. Nations will look to him for guidance, ³  and his residence will be majestic.

Yesaya 19:24-25

19:24 At that time Israel will be the third member of the group, along with Egypt and Assyria, and will be a recipient of blessing ⁴  in the earth. ⁵  19:25 The Lord who commands armies will pronounce a blessing over the earth, saying, ⁶  “Blessed be my people, Egypt, and the work of my hands, Assyria, and my special possession, ⁷  Israel!”

Yesaya 27:13

27:13 At that time ⁸  a large ⁹  trumpet will be blown, and the ones lost ¹⁰  in the land of Assyria will come, as well as the refugees in ¹¹  the land of Egypt. They will worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem. ¹² 

Yesaya 49:5-6

49:5 So now the Lord says,

the one who formed me from birth ¹³  to be his servant –

he did this ¹⁴  to restore Jacob to himself,

so that Israel might be gathered to him;

and I will be honored ¹⁵  in the Lord’s sight,

for my God is my source of strength ¹⁶  –

49:6 he says, “Is it too insignificant a task for you to be my servant,

to reestablish the tribes of Jacob,

and restore the remnant ¹⁷  of Israel? ¹⁸ 

I will make you a light to the nations, ¹⁹ 

so you can bring ²⁰  my deliverance to the remote regions of the earth.”

Yesaya 66:19-20

66:19 I will perform a mighty act among them ²¹  and then send some of those who remain to the nations – to Tarshish, Pul, ²²  Lud ²³  (known for its archers ²⁴ ), Tubal, Javan, ²⁵  and to the distant coastlands ²⁶  that have not heard about me or seen my splendor. They will tell the nations of my splendor. 66:20 They will bring back all your countrymen ²⁷  from all the nations as an offering to the Lord. They will bring them ²⁸  on horses, in chariots, in wagons, on mules, and on camels ²⁹  to my holy hill Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “just as the Israelites bring offerings to the Lord’s temple in ritually pure containers.

[11:10]  ¹ tn Or “in that day” (KJV). The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[11:10]  ² sn See the note at v. 1.

[11:10]  ³ tn Heb “ a root from Jesse, which stands for a signal flag of the nations, of him nations will inquire” [or “seek”].

[19:24]  ⁴ tn Heb “will be a blessing” (so NCV).

[19:24]  ⁵ tn Or “land” (KJV, NAB).

[19:25]  ⁶ tn Heb “which the Lord who commands 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 (’erets, “earth”) at the end of v. 24.

[19:25]  ⁷ tn Or “my inheritance” (NAB, NASB, NIV).

[27:13]  ⁸ tn Heb “and it will be in that day.” The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[27:13]  ⁹ tn Traditionally, “great” (KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NLT); CEV “loud.”

[27:13]  ¹⁰ tn Or “the ones perishing.”

[27:13]  ¹¹ tn Or “the ones driven into.”

[49:5]  ¹³ tn Heb “from the womb” (so KJV, NASB).

[49:5]  ¹⁴ tn The words “he did this” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. In the Hebrew text the infinitive construct of purpose is subordinated to the previous statement.

[49:5]  ¹⁵ tn The vav (ו) + imperfect is translated here as a result clause; one might interpret it as indicating purpose, “and so I might be honored.”

[49:5]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and my God is [perhaps, “having been”] my strength.” The disjunctive structure (vav [ו] + subject + verb) is interpreted here as indicating a causal circumstantial clause.

[49:6]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “the protected [or “preserved”] ones.”

[49:6]  ¹⁸ sn 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.

[49:6]  ¹⁹ tn See the note at 42:6.

[49:6]  ²⁰ tn Heb “be” (so KJV, ASV); CEV “you must take.”

[66:19]  ²¹ tn Heb “and I will set a sign among them.” The precise meaning of this statement is unclear. Elsewhere “to set a sign” means “perform a mighty act” (Ps 78:43; Jer 32:20), “make [someone] an object lesson” (Ezek 14:8), and “erect a [literal] standard” (Ps 74:4).

[66:19]  ²² tn Some prefer to read “Put” (i.e., Libya).

[66:19]  ²³ sn That is, Lydia (in Asia Minor).

[66:19]  ²⁴ tn Heb “drawers of the bow” (KJV and ASV both similar).

[66:19]  ²⁵ sn Javan is generally identified today as Greece (so NIV, NCV, NLT).

[66:19]  ²⁶ tn Or “islands” (NIV).

[66:20]  ²⁷ tn Heb “brothers” (so NIV); NCV “fellow Israelites.”

[66:20]  ²⁸ tn The words “they will bring them” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[66:20]  ²⁹ tn The precise meaning of this word is uncertain. Some suggest it refers to “chariots.” See HALOT 498 s.v. *כִּרְכָּרָה.
