2 tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here and in vv. 8, 11 is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).
3 tc The Hebrew text has, “the firstborn of the poor will graze.” “Firstborn” may be used here in an idiomatic sense to indicate the very poorest of the poor. See BDB 114 s.v. בְּכוֹר. The translation above assumes an emendation of בְּכוֹרֵי (bÿkhorey, “firstborn of”) to בְּכָרַי (bekharay, “in my pastures”).
4 tn Heb “your remnant” (so NAB, NRSV).
5 tn On the meaning of כָּפַר (kafar) in this context, see HALOT 494 s.v. I כפר and J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:515, n. 9.
6 tn Normally the noun חָזוּת (khazut) means “vision.” See the note at v. 15.
7 tn Or “will not stand” (NIV, NRSV).
9 tn Heb “you will become a trampling place for it.”
10 tn Or “For” (KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).
11 tn The negative particle is understood by ellipsis in this line. See GKC 483 §152.z.
