Isaiah 19:21-22

19:21 The Lord will reveal himself to the Egyptians, and they will acknowledge the Lord’s authority at that time. 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 and heal them.


tn Heb “Egypt.” For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, the present translation uses the pronoun (“they”) here.

tn Heb “will know the Lord.”

tn Heb “in that day” (so KJV), likewise at the beginning of vv. 23 and 24.

tn Heb “he will be entreated.” The Niphal has a tolerative sense here, “he will allow himself to be entreated.”
