RF ISA 7:1 ODE 12.
A message to Ahaz.
At the period when Ahaz-ben-Jotham-ben-Aziah was King of Judah, Retzin King of Aram, and Pekah-ben-Remeliah the king of Israel, advanced to Jerusalem to assail it, but were not able to conquer.
RF ISA 7:2 But when it was reported to the House of David that Aram had joined with Ephraim its heart and the heart of its people shook like the trees of a wood are shaken before the wind.
RF ISA 7:3 But the LORD said to Isaiah, "Go at once with your son Turn-again, to meet Ahaz at the side of the embankment of the High Reservoir on the Hill of the Bleachers' Field
RF ISA 7:4 "and say to him;— 'rest, and be quiet, and fear not these two smoking tails of sticks,—those firebrands Retzin of Aram and the greedy son of Remeliah
RF ISA 7:5 who conspire against you,—Aram the friend of Ephraim and the son of Remeliah,—who say;—
RF ISA 7:6 Let us advance into Judah and conquer her, and divide her between us and make the son of Tebal a King in her centre '
RF ISA 7:7 "However," the Almighty LORD says, "it shall never succeed or be done."—
RF ISA 7:8 What is the head of Aram? Damask!—and the Head of Damask? I Retzin; but by a period of six full years, Damask shall be struck down, with the Head of Ephraim, Shomeron—
RF ISA 7:9 and the Head of Shomeron,—Ben-Remeliah!—If you do not believe this,—Why do you not believe?"
RF ISA 7:10 The Messenger of the LORD continued however to say;
RF ISA 7:11 "Ask a proof from your EVER-LIVING GOD for yourself,—from the valley below, or from the hills above?"
—————
1 Ch. 7, v. 8. I believe the name Ephraim, is the pen-slip of an ancient transcriber, for Damask, as the sense of the passage demands Damask, and not Ephraim, whose, doom follows.
RF ISA 7:12 But Ahaz replied, "I will not ask one,—for I will not try the EVER-LIVING."
RF ISA 7:13 He, however,1 answered;—"Listen, now, House of David, is it a trifle that you flout men, that you must also flout God?
RF ISA 7:14 "However the Almighty Himself will give you a proof.—Look! that Virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and you shall call his name God-with-us.2
RF ISA 7:15 He will eat butter and honey when he learns how to distinguish between bad and good.
RF ISA 7:16 Yet before he the lad knows to distinguish between bad and good, the Country that you oppose will be deprived of both her Kings!3
RF ISA 7:17 FOR the EVER-LIVING will bring over you and over your People, and over your father's house, such times as have not come from the day when Ephraim revolted from Judah,—the King of Ashur!—
RF ISA 7:18 And then the LORD Will whistle for the Flies who are on the banks, of the rivers of the Mitzeraim, and for the Wasps who are in the land of Ashur,
RF ISA 7:19 and they will come and all of them settle in the banks of the rivers and the clefts in the crags, and in all the bushes and on all the trees by the brooks.—
RF ISA 7:20 At the same time the Almighty will shave off by a hired razor,—by the King of Ashur,—the head and hair of the feet and also the beard!"
RF ISA 7:21 At that period it will happen that a man who feeds a cow and a couple of sheep,
RF ISA 7:22 can eat butter and milk from their abundant produce,—for all who are left in the breast of the land will eat butter and honey,
RF ISA 7:23 for then on every farm where there had been a thousand vines, let for a thousand shillings, there will be only briars and thorns!—
—————
1 Ch. 7, v. 13. "He, however," refers to Isaiah the Messenger, not to Jehovah.
2 Immanuel.
3 This event actually occurred when Tiglath-Piliser captured Damascus and Samaria, after Ahaz had entered into an alliance with him in 741-740 B.C. (2 Kings 16.7). Upon these facts I read this 7 Ch. of Isaiah, v. 8, as being "six full years," not 65 as former translators have done, for the word unzrt, Khamsh, five, in the Hebrew means "a full or round number," and does not always stand as a mere numeral of arithmetic. See Professor Samuel Lee's Hebrew Lexicon.
RF ISA 7:24 They shall also hunt there with bows and arrows, for all the land will be briars and thorns
RF ISA 7:25 and upon all the hills that were carefully cultivated, nothing shall shoot up except thorns and briars, and fodder for bullocks and trampling goats!"
