Footnotes

  1. 39 Heb “Seek from upon the scroll of the Lord and read.” It is uncertain what particular scroll is referred to here. Perhaps the phrase simply refers to this prophecy and is an admonition to pay close attention to the details of the message.
  2. 40 Heb “one from these will not be missing.” הֵנָּה (hennah, “these”) is feminine plural in the Hebrew text. It may refer only to the birds mentioned in v. 15b or may include all of the creatures listed in vv. 14b–15 (all of which are identified with feminine nouns).
  3. 41 Heb “each its mate they will not lack.”
  4. 42 The Hebrew text reads literally, “for a mouth, it has commanded.” The Qumran scroll 1QIsaa and a few medieval have פִּיהוּ (pihu, “his mouth [has commanded]”), while a few other medieval read פִּי יְהוָה (pi yéhvah, “the mouth of the Lord [has commanded]”).
  5. 43 Heb “and his spirit, he gathers them.” The pronominal suffix (“them”) is feminine plural, referring to the birds mentioned in v. 15b or to all of the creatures listed in vv. 14b–15 (all of which are identified with feminine nouns).
