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 58:5

58:5 Is this really the kind of fasting I want? ⁴ 

Do I want a day when people merely humble themselves, ⁵ 

bowing their heads like a reed

and stretching out ⁶  on sackcloth and ashes?

Is this really what you call a fast,

a day that is pleasing to the Lord?

[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.

[58:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “choose” (so NASB, NRSV); NAB “wish.”

[58:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “a day when man humbles himself.” The words “Do I want” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[58:5]  ⁶ tn Or “making [their] bed.”
