66:10 For 1 you, O God, tested us;
you purified us like refined silver.
66:12 You allowed men to ride over our heads;
we passed through fire and water,
but you brought us out into a wide open place. 2
1 tn Or “indeed.”
2 tc The MT reads רְוָיָה (“saturation”) but this should be emended to רְוָחָה (rÿvakhah, “wide open place”; i.e., “relief”), a reading supported by several ancient versions (LXX, Syriac, Jerome, Targum).
