Isaiah 19:25

The Lord who commands armies will pronounce a blessing over the earth, saying, ¹  “Blessed be my people, Egypt, and the work of my hands, Assyria, and my special possession, ²  Israel!”

Nu 6:24,27; Nu 24:1; De 32:9; Ps 67:6,7; Ps 100:3; Ps 115:15; Ps 138:8; Isa 29:23; Isa 61:9; Isa 65:23; Ho 2:23; Ro 3:29; Ro 9:24,25; Ga 6:15; Eph 1:3; Eph 2:10; Php 1:6; Col 3:10,11; 1Pe 2:10

¹ tn Heb “which the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts] will bless [it], saying.” The third masculine singular suffix on the form בֵּרֲכוֹ (berakho) should probably be emended to a third feminine singular suffix בֵּרֲכָהּ (berakhah), for its antecedent would appear to be the feminine noun אֶרֶץ (’erets, “earth”) at the end of v. 24.

² tn Or “my inheritance” (NAB, NASB, NIV).
