47:4 says our protector –
the Lord who commands armies is his name,
the Holy One of Israel. 1
49:16 Look, I have inscribed your name 2 on my palms;
your walls are constantly before me.
1 tc The Hebrew text reads, “Our redeemer – the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts] is his name, the Holy One of Israel.” The ancient Greek version adds “says” before “our redeemer.” אָמַר (’amar) may have accidentally dropped from the text by virtual haplography. Note that the preceding word אָדָם (’adam) is graphically similar.
sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.
2 tn Heb “you.” Here the pronoun is put by metonymy for the person’s name.
