Isaiah 19:21-22
19:21 The Lord will reveal himself to the Egyptians, and they 1 will acknowledge the Lord’s authority 2 at that time. 3 They will present sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the Lord and fulfill them.
19:22 The Lord will strike Egypt, striking and then healing them. They will turn to the Lord and he will listen to their prayers 4 and heal them.
1 tn Heb “Egypt.” For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, the present translation uses the pronoun (“they”) here.
2 tn Heb “will know the Lord.”
3 tn Heb “in that day” (so KJV), likewise at the beginning of vv. 23 and 24.
4 tn Heb “he will be entreated.” The Niphal has a tolerative sense here, “he will allow himself to be entreated.”
