<< Isaiah 54:7   Isaiah 54:9 >>


Isaiah 54:8

I hid my face from thee for a moment - The word rega is omitted by the Septuagint, Syriac, and two MSS. of Kennicott' s, and two of De Rossi' s. It seems to embarrass rather than to help the sentence. Forte reponi debet pro shetseph , quod potest a ketseph errore scribae originem duxisse. "Perhaps it ought to be substituted for shetseph , an error probably made by some scribe from its similarity to ketseph ." - Secker

Thy Redeemer - goalech : but for this word three of De Rossi' s MSS. have merachamech , thy commiserator.
