<< Isaiah 61:6 Isaiah 61:8 >>
Isaiah 61:7
For your shame "Instead of your shame" - The translation of this verse, which is very confused, and probably corrupted in the Hebrew, is taken from the Syriac Version; except that the latter has not expressed the word mishneh , double, in the first place. Five MSS. add the conjunction vau to simchath . The Syriac reads taronnu , and tirashu , in the second person, "ye shall rejoice, ye shall inherit. "And for lahem , to them, two MSS., (one of them ancient), three of De Rossi' s, and the Syriac, read lachem , to you, in the second person likewise.
The Version of the Septuagint is imperfect in this place; the first half of the verse is entirely omitted in all the printed copies. It is supplied by MSS. Pachom. and 1. D. 2 in the following manner: -
̔ ,
̔ ·
-
"Instead of your shame ye shall have double,
And instead of your confusion their portion shall rejoice;
Therefore, they shall possess their land a second time."
In which the two MSS. agree, except that 1. D. 2 has by mistake ̔ , day, for ̔ , the part. And Cod. Marchal., in the margin, has pretty nearly the same supplement as from Theodotion. - L.
