Discovery BoxIsaiah 25:6-7 
Context25:6 The Lord who commands armies will hold a banquet for all the nations on this mountain. 1
At this banquet there will be plenty of meat and aged wine –
tender meat and choicest wine. 2
25:7 On this mountain he will swallow up
the shroud that is over all the peoples, 3
the woven covering that is over all the nations; 4
1 sn That is, Mount Zion (see 24:23); cf. TEV; NLT “In Jerusalem.”
2 tn Heb “And the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts] will make for all the nations on this mountain a banquet of meats, a banquet of wine dregs, meats filled with marrow, dregs that are filtered.”
3 tn The Hebrew text reads, “the face of the shroud, the shroud over all the nations.” Some emend the second הַלּוֹט (hallot) to a passive participle הַלּוּט (hallut, “that is wrapped”).
4 sn The point of the imagery is unclear. Perhaps the shroud/covering referred to was associated with death in some way (see v. 8).
