Yesaya 56:2-4

56:2 The people who do this will be blessed, ¹ 

the people who commit themselves to obedience, ² 

who observe the Sabbath and do not defile it,

who refrain from doing anything that is wrong. ³ 

56:3 No foreigner who becomes a follower of ⁴  the Lord should say,

‘The Lord will certainly ⁵  exclude me from his people.’

The eunuch should not say,

‘Look, I am like a dried-up tree.’”

56:4 For this is what the Lord says:

“For the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths

and choose what pleases me

and are faithful to ⁶  my covenant,

[56:2]  ¹ tn Heb “blessed is the man who does this.”

[56:2]  ² tn Heb “the son of mankind who takes hold of it.”

[56:2]  ³ tn Heb and who keeps his hand from doing any evil.”

[56:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “who attaches himself to.”

[56:3]  ⁵ tn The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis.

[56:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “and take hold of” (so KJV); NASB “hold fast.”
