13:10 Indeed the stars in the sky and their constellations
no longer give out their light; 1
the sun is darkened as soon as it rises,
and the moon does not shine. 2
19:18 At that time five cities 3 in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the Lord who commands armies. One will be called the City of the Sun. 4
24:23 The full moon will be covered up, 5
the bright sun 6 will be darkened; 7
for the Lord who commands armies will rule 8
on Mount Zion in Jerusalem 9
in the presence of his assembly, in majestic splendor. 10
49:10 They will not be hungry or thirsty;
the sun’s oppressive heat will not beat down on them, 11
for one who has compassion on them will guide them;
he will lead them to springs of water.
60:19 The sun will no longer supply light for you by day,
nor will the moon’s brightness shine on you;
the Lord will be your permanent source of light –
the splendor of your God will shine upon you. 12

10 tn Heb “and before his elders [in] splendor.”
11 tn Heb “and the heat and the sun will not strike them.” In Isa 35:7, its only other occurrence in the OT, שָׁרָב (sharav) stands parallel to “parched ground” and in contrast to “pool.” In later Hebrew and Aramaic it refers to “dry heat, heat of the sun” (Jastrow 1627 s.v.). Here it likely has this nuance and forms a hendiadys with “sun.”
12 tn Heb “and your God for your splendor.”
