17 According to דּוֹר this noun is a hapax legomenon meaning “dwelling place,” derived from a verbal root meaning “live” (see Ps 84:10). For an interpretation that understands the form as the well-attested noun meaning “generation,” see J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (), 1:, n. 4.
18 The verb form appears to be a Niphal from גָּלָה (galah), which normally means “uncovered, revealed” in the Niphal. Because of the following reference to a shepherd’s tent, some prefer to emend the form to וְנָגַל, a Niphal from גָלָל (galal, “roll”) and translate “is rolled [or “folded”] up.”
19 Heb “I rolled up, like a weaver, my life” (so ).
20 For a discussion of the imagery employed here, see J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (), 1:.
21 Heb “from day to night you bring me to an end.”
