from the west I will gather you.

Isaiah 45:6

Context

45:6 I do this 1  so people 2  will recognize from east to west

that there is no God but me;

I am the Lord, I have no peer.

Isaiah 49:12

Context

49:12 Look, they come from far away!

Look, some come from the north and west,

and others from the land of Sinim! 3 

1 tn The words “I do this” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

2 tn Heb “they” (so KJV, ASV); TEV, CEV “everyone”; NLT “all the world.”

3 tc The MT reads “Sinim” here; the Dead Sea Scrolls read “Syene,” a location in Egypt associated with modern Aswan. A number of recent translations adopt this reading: “Syene” (NAB, NRSV); “Aswan” (NIV); “Egypt” (NLT).

sn The precise location of the land of Sinim is uncertain, but since the north and west are mentioned in the previous line, it was a probably located in the distant east or south.
