Yesaya 7:20

7:20 At that time ¹  the sovereign master will use a razor hired from the banks of the Euphrates River, ²  the king of Assyria, to shave the head and the pubic hair; ³  it will also shave off the beard.

Yesaya 19:21

19:21 The Lord will reveal himself to the Egyptians, and they ⁴  will acknowledge the Lord’s authority ⁵  at that time. ⁶  They will present sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the Lord and fulfill them.

Yesaya 29:8

29:8 It will be like a hungry man dreaming that he is eating,

only to awaken and find that his stomach is empty. ⁷ 

It will be like a thirsty man dreaming that he is drinking,

only to awaken and find that he is still weak and his thirst unquenched. ⁸ 

So it will be for the horde from all the nations

that fight against Mount Zion.

Yesaya 37:38

37:38 One day, ⁹  as he was worshiping ¹⁰  in the temple of his god Nisroch, ¹¹  his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword. ¹²  They ran away to the land of Ararat; his son Esarhaddon replaced him as king.

[7:20]  ¹ tn Heb “in that day” (so ASV, NASB); KJV “In the same day.”

[7:20]  ² tn Heb “the river” (so KJV); NASB “the Euphrates.” The name of the river has been supplied in the present translation for clarity.

[7:20]  ³ tn Heb “the hair of the feet.” The translation assumes that the word “feet” is used here as a euphemism for the genitals. See BDB 920 s.v. רֶגֶל.

[19:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “Egypt.” For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, the present translation uses the pronoun (“they”) here.

[19:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “will know the Lord.”

[19:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “in that day” (so KJV), likewise at the beginning of vv. 23 and 24.

[29:8]  ⁷ tn Or “that he [or “his appetite”] is unsatisfied.”

[29:8]  ⁸ tn Or “that he is faint and that he [or “his appetite”] longs [for water].”

[37:38]  ⁹ sn The assassination of King Sennacherib probably took place in 681 b.c.

[37:38]  ¹⁰ tn The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[37:38]  ¹¹ sn No such Mesopotamian god is presently known. Perhaps the name Nisroch is a corruption of Nusku.

[37:38]  ¹² sn Extra-biblical sources also mention the assassination of Sennacherib, though they refer to only one assassin. See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 239-40.
