Isaiah 38:12
Mine age - is removed from me as a shepherd' s tent - roi is put for roeh , say the rabbis (Sal. Den Melec on the place); but much more probably is written imperfectly for roim , shepherds. See note on Isaiah 5:1.
I shall be removed from this state to another, as a shepherd removes his tent from one place to another for the sake of his flock. Is not this a strong intimation of his belief in a future state?
I have cut off like a weaver my life " My life is cut off as by the weaver " - kippadti . This verb is rendered passively, and in the third person, by the Syriac, Chaldee, and Vulgate.
