Isaiah 66:19

Context
66:19 I will perform a mighty act among them 1  and then send some of those who remain to the nations – to Tarshish, Pul, 2  Lud 3  (known for its archers 4 ), Tubal, Javan, 5  and to the distant coastlands 6  that have not heard about me or seen my splendor. They will tell the nations of my splendor.

1 tn Heb “and I will set a sign among them.” The precise meaning of this statement is unclear. Elsewhere “to set a sign” means “perform a mighty act” (Ps 78:43; Jer 32:20), “make [someone] an object lesson” (Ezek 14:8), and “erect a [literal] standard” (Ps 74:4).

2 tn Some prefer to read “Put” (i.e., Libya).

3 sn That is, Lydia (in Asia Minor).

4 tn Heb “drawers of the bow” (KJV and ASV both similar).

5 sn Javan is generally identified today as Greece (so NIV, NCV, NLT).

6 tn Or “islands” (NIV).
