Isaiah 66:12

Verse Isaiah 66:12. Like a river, and - like a flowing stream - "Like the great river, and like the overflowing stream"] That is, the Euphrates, (it ought to have been pointed כנהר cannahar, ut fluvius ille, as the river,) and the Nile.

Then shall ye suck - "And ye shall suck at the breast"] These two words על שד al shad, at the breast, seem to have been omitted in the present text, from their likeness to the two words following; על צד al tsad, at the side. A very probable conjecture of Houbigant. The Chaldee and Vulgate have omitted the two latter words instead of the two former. Isaiah 60:4.
