19:6 The canals 1 will stink; 2
the streams of Egypt will trickle and then dry up;
the bulrushes and reeds will decay,
1 tn Heb “rivers” (so KJV, ASV); NAB, CEV “streams”; TEV “channels.”
2 tn The verb form appears as a Hiphil in the Qumran scroll 1QIsaa; the form in MT may be a so-called “mixed form,” reflecting the Hebrew Hiphil stem and the functionally corresponding Aramaic Aphel stem. See HALOT 276 s.v. I זנח.
