Isaiah 22:1

Context
The Lord Will Judge Jerusalem

22:1 Here is a message about the Valley of Vision: 1 

What is the reason 2 

that all of you go up to the rooftops?

Isaiah 65:10

Context

65:10 Sharon 3  will become a pasture for sheep,

and the Valley of Achor 4  a place where cattle graze; 5 

they will belong to my people, who seek me. 6 

1 sn The following message pertains to Jerusalem. The significance of referring to the city as the Valley of Vision is uncertain. Perhaps the Hinnom Valley is in view, but why it is associated with a prophetic revelatory “vision” is not entirely clear. Maybe the Hinnom Valley is called this because the destruction that will take place there is the focal point of this prophetic message (see v. 5).

2 tn Heb “What to you, then?”

3 sn Sharon was a plain located to the west, along the Mediterranean coast north of Joppa and south of Carmel.

4 sn The Valley of Achor (“Achor” means “trouble” in Hebrew) was the site of Achan’s execution. It was located to the east, near Jericho.

5 tn Heb “a resting place for cattle”; NASB, NIV “for herds.”

6 tn Heb “for my people who seek me.”
