Isaiah 33:2
Be thou their arm every morning "Be thou our strength every morning" - For zeroam , their arm, the Syriac, Chaldee, and Vulgate read zeroenu , our arm, in the first person of the pronoun, not the third: the edition of Felix Pratensis has zerootheynu in the margin.
The prophet is here praying against the enemies of God' s people; and yet this part of the prayer seems to be in their behalf: but from the above authorities it appears that Our arm is the true reading, though I do not find it confirmed by any of Kennicott' s, De Rossi' s, or my own MSS. My old MS. Bible has, - Be thou oure arm in erly.
