Discovery BoxIsaiah 11:7 
Context11:7 A cow and a bear will graze together,
their young will lie down together. 1
A lion, like an ox, will eat straw.
Isaiah 13:18
Context13:18 Their arrows will cut young men to ribbons; 2
they have no compassion on a person’s offspring, 3
they will not 4 look with pity on children.
1 tn Heb “and a cow and a bear will graze – together – they will lie down, their young.” This is a case of pivot pattern; יַחְדָּו (yakhddav, “together”) goes with both the preceding and following statements.
2 tn Heb “and bows cut to bits young men.” “Bows” stands by metonymy for arrows.
3 tn Heb “the fruit of the womb.”
4 tn Heb “their eye does not.” Here “eye” is a metonymy for the whole person.
