  2. 5 The Hebrew text has “you have made from the city.” The prefixed mem (ם) on עִיר (’ir, “city”) was probably originally an enclitic mem suffixed to the preceding verb. See J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (), 1:, n. 3.
  3. 6 Some with support from the emend זָרִים (zarim, “foreigners”) to זֵדִים (zedim, “the insolent”).
