Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

Isaiah 59:20

Verse Isaiah 59:20. Unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob - "And shall turn away iniquity from Jacob"] So the Septuagint and St. Paul, Romans 11:26, reading instead of לשבי leshabey and ביעקב beyaacob, והשיב veheshib and מיעקב meyaacob. The Syriac likewise reads והשיב veheshib; and the Chaldee, to the same sense, ולהשיב ulehashib. Our translators have expressed the sense of the present reading of the Hebrew text: "And unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob."
