Isaiah 7:3

So the Lord told Isaiah, “Go out with your son Shear-jashub ¹  and meet Ahaz at the end of the conduit of the upper pool which is located on the road to the field where they wash and dry cloth. ² 

Ex 7:15; 2Ki 18:17; 2Ki 20:20; Isa 6:13; Isa 10:21; Isa 36:2; Isa 55:7; Jer 19:2,3; Jer 22:1; Ro 9:27

¹ tn The name means “a remnant will return.” Perhaps in this context, where the Lord is trying to encourage Ahaz, the name suggests that only a few of the enemy invaders will return home; the rest will be defeated.

² tn Heb “the field of the washer”; traditionally “the fuller’s field” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NRSV); NIV “the Washerman’s Field.”
