Footnotes

  1. 19 Heb “comes as a strong one”; “will come as a mighty one.” The preposition בְּ (bet) here carries the nuance “in the capacity of.” It indicates that the Lord possesses the quality expressed by the noun. See §119.i and בְּ.
  2. 20 Heb “his arm rules for him” (so , ). The Lord’s “arm” symbolizes his military power (see Isa 51:9–10; 63:5).
  3. 21 As the Lord returns to Jerusalem as a victorious warrior, he brings with him the spoils of victory, called here his “reward” and “prize.” These terms might also be translated “wages” and “recompense.” Verse 11 indicates that his rescued people, likened to a flock of sheep, are his reward.
