Yesaya 22:8

22:8 They ¹  removed the defenses ²  of Judah.

At that time ³  you looked

for the weapons in the House of the Forest. ⁴ 

Yesaya 22:15

22:15 This is what the sovereign master, the Lord who commands armies, says:

“Go visit this administrator, Shebna, who supervises the palace, ⁵  and tell him: ⁶ 

Yesaya 37:24

37:24 Through your messengers you taunted the sovereign master, ⁷ 

‘With my many chariots I climbed up

the high mountains,

the slopes of Lebanon.

I cut down its tall cedars

and its best evergreens.

I invaded its most remote regions, ⁸ 

its thickest woods.

Yesaya 38:6

38:6 and rescue you and this city from the king of Assyria. I will shield this city.”’”

Yesaya 38:13

38:13 I cry out ⁹  until morning;

like a lion he shatters all my bones;

you turn day into night and end my life. ¹⁰ 

[22:8]  ¹ tn Heb “he,” i.e., the enemy invader. NASB, by its capitalization of the pronoun, takes this to refer to the Lord.

[22:8]  ² tn Heb “covering.”

[22:8]  ³ tn Heb “in that day” (so KJV), likewise at the beginning of v. 12.

[22:8]  ⁴ sn Perhaps this refers to a royal armory, or to Solomon’s “House of the Forest of Lebanon,” where weapons may have been kept (see 1 Kgs 10:16-17).

[22:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “who is over the house” (so ASV); NASB “who is in charge of the royal household.”

[22:15]  ⁶ tn The words “and tell him” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[37:24]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

[37:24]  ⁸ tn Heb “the height of its extremity”; ASV “its farthest height.”

[38:13]  ⁹ tn The verb form in the Hebrew text is a Piel from שָׁוַה (shavah). There are two homonyms שָׁוַה, one meaning in the Piel “level, smooth out,” the other “set, place.” Neither fits in v. 13. It is likely that the original reading was שִׁוַּעְתִּי (shivva’ti, “I cry out”) from the verbal root שָׁוַע (shava’), which occurs exclusively in the Piel.

[38:13]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “from day to night you bring me to an end.”
