19:6 The canals 1 will stink; 2
the streams of Egypt will trickle and then dry up;
the bulrushes and reeds will decay,
34:3 Their slain will be left unburied, 3
their corpses will stink; 4
the hills will soak up their blood. 5

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.
3 tn Heb “will be cast aside”; NASB, NIV “thrown out.”
4 tn Heb “[as for] their corpses, their stench will arise.”
5 tn Heb “hills will dissolve from their blood.”
