Isaiah 3:3

Context

3:3 captains of groups of fifty,

the respected citizens, 1 

advisers and those skilled in magical arts, 2 

and those who know incantations.

Isaiah 12:6

Context

12:6 Cry out and shout for joy, O citizens of Zion,

for the Holy One of Israel 3  acts mightily 4  among you!”

1 tn Heb “the ones lifted up with respect to the face.” For another example of the Hebrew idiom, see 2 Kgs 5:1.

2 tn Heb “and the wise with respect to magic.” On the meaning of חֲרָשִׁים (kharashim, “magic”), see HALOT 358 s.v. III חרשׁ. Some understand here a homonym, meaning “craftsmen.” In this case, one could translate, “skilled craftsmen” (cf. NIV, NASB).

3 sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.

4 tn Or “is great” (TEV). However, the context emphasizes his mighty acts of deliverance (cf. NCV), not some general or vague character quality.
