Isaiah 58:11

Verse Isaiah 58:11. And make fat thy bones - "And he shall renew thy strength"] Chaldaeus forte legit יחכיף עצמתך yachaliph otsmathecha; confer cap. xl. 29, 31, et xli. 1. - SECKER. "The Chaldee perhaps read יחליף עצמתך yachaliph otsmathecha." The Chaldee has וגופך יחיי בחיי עלמא veguphach vechaiyey bechaiyey alma, "and he will vivify thy body in life eternal." The rest of the ancients seem not to know what to make of יחליץ yachalits; and the rendering of the Vulgate, which seems to be the only proper one, ossa tua liberabit, "he will deliver thy bones," makes no sense. I follow this excellent emendation; to favour which it is still farther to be observed that three MSS., instead of עצמתיך atsmotheycha, have עצמתך otsmathecha, singular. - L.
