Yesaya 37:9
Konteks37:9 The king 1 heard that King Tirhakah of Ethiopia 2 was marching out to fight him. 3 He again sent 4 messengers to Hezekiah, ordering them:
Yesaya 43:3
Konteks43:3 For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, 5 your deliverer.
I have handed over Egypt as a ransom price,
Ethiopia and Seba 6 in place of you.
[37:9] 1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[37:9] 2 tn Heb “Cush” (so NASB); NIV, NCV “the Cushite king of Egypt.”
[37:9] 3 tn Heb “heard concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, ‘He has come out to fight with you.’”
[37:9] 4 tn The Hebrew text has, “and he heard and he sent,” but the parallel in 2 Kgs 19:9 has וַיָּשָׁב וַיִּשְׁלַח (vayyashav vayyishlakh, “and he returned and he sent”), i.e., “he again sent.”
[43:3] 5 sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.
[43:3] 6 sn Seba is not the same as Sheba in southern Arabia; cf. Gen 1:10; 1 Chr 1:9.
