Isaiah 7:20

Context
7:20 At that time 1  the sovereign master will use a razor hired from the banks of the Euphrates River, 2  the king of Assyria, to shave the head and the pubic hair; 3  it will also shave off the beard.

1 tn Heb “in that day” (so ASV, NASB); KJV “In the same day.”

2 tn Heb “the river” (so KJV); NASB “the Euphrates.” The name of the river has been supplied in the present translation for clarity.

3 tn Heb “the hair of the feet.” The translation assumes that the word “feet” is used here as a euphemism for the genitals. See BDB 920 s.v. רֶגֶל.
