Yesaya 56:1

The Lord Invites Outsiders to Enter

56:1 This is what the Lord says,

“Promote ¹  justice! Do what is right!

For I am ready to deliver you;

I am ready to vindicate you openly. ² 

Ibrani 9:12

9:12 and he entered once for all into the most holy place not by the blood of goats and calves but by his own blood, and so he himself secured ³  eternal redemption.

[56:1]  ¹ tn Heb “guard”; KJV “Keep”; NAB “Observe”; NASB “Preserve”; NIV, NRSV “Maintain.”

[56:1]  ² tn Heb “for near is my deliverance to enter, and my vindication [or “righteousness”] to be revealed.”

[9:12]  ³ tn This verb occurs in the Greek middle voice, which here intensifies the role of the subject, Christ, in accomplishing the action: “he alone secured”; “he and no other secured.”
