Isaiah 32:17

Context

32:17 Fairness will produce peace 1 

and result in lasting security. 2 

Isaiah 5:10

Context

5:10 Indeed, a large vineyard 3  will produce just a few gallons, 4 

and enough seed to yield several bushels 5  will produce less than a bushel.” 6 

1 tn Heb “and the product of fairness will be peace.”

2 tn Heb “and the work of fairness [will be] calmness and security forever.”

3 tn Heb “a ten-yoke vineyard.” The Hebrew term צֶמֶד (tsemed, “yoke”) is here a unit of square measure. Apparently a ten-yoke vineyard covered the same amount of land it would take ten teams of oxen to plow in a certain period of time. The exact size is unknown.

4 tn Heb “one bath.” A bath was a liquid measure. Estimates of its modern equivalent range from approximately six to twelve gallons.

5 tn Heb “a homer.” A homer was a dry measure, the exact size of which is debated. Cf. NCV “ten bushels”; CEV “five bushels.”

6 tn Heb “an ephah.” An ephah was a dry measure; there were ten ephahs in a homer. So this verse envisions major crop failure, where only one-tenth of the anticipated harvest is realized.
