Isaiah 8:1 — Translation and Notes
Like previous posts on Isaiah, these owe a great deal to the classroom discussions I’ve been involved in lately. Any errors most likely originate with me, and not with the other, generally more experienced, students or the teacher.

The Two Houses of Israel — Reconsidering Isaiah 8:14
(The usual disclaimer does not apply. In this case, I’ve yet to find anyone else who has even mentioned the idea I’m outlining.
