Isaiah 2:3

many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the Lord’s mountain, to the temple of the God of Jacob, so ¹  he can teach us his requirements, ²  and ³  we can follow his standards.” ⁴  For Zion will be the center for moral instruction; ⁵  the Lord will issue edicts from Jerusalem. ⁶

¹ tn The prefixed verb form with simple vav (ו) introduces a purpose/result clause after the preceding prefixed verb form (probably to be taken as a cohortative; see IBHS 650 §39.2.2a).

² tn Heb “his ways.” In this context God’s “ways” are the standards of moral conduct he decrees that people should live by.

³ tn The cohortative with vav (ו) after the prefixed verb form indicates the ultimate purpose/goal of their action.

⁴ tn Heb “walk in his ways.”

⁵ tn Heb “for out of Zion will go instruction.”

⁶ tn Heb “the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.”
