Isaiah 32:20

32:20 you will be blessed,

you who plant seed by all the banks of the streams,

you who let your ox and donkey graze.

Isaiah 61:9

61:9 Their descendants will be known among the nations,

their offspring among the peoples.

All who see them will recognize that

the Lord has blessed them.”


tn Heb “by all the waters.”

tn Heb “who set free the foot of the ox and donkey”; NIV “letting your cattle and donkeys range free.”

sn This verse seems to anticipate a time when fertile land is available to cultivate and crops are so abundant that the farm animals can be allowed to graze freely.

tn Heb “all who see them will recognize them, that they [are] descendants [whom] the Lord has blessed.”
