Isaiah 7:8

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge · Canne, Browne, Blayney, Scott, and others · Public Domain

For the head: Dr. Jubb transposes the former part of Isaiah 7:9, and renders, "Though the head of Syria be Damascus; and the head of Damascus Retzin; and the head of Ephraim be Samaria; and the head of Samaria Remaliah's son; yet within threescore and five years Ephraim shall be broken, that he be no more a people." This renders the passage perfectly clear; and the prophecy received its full accomplishment when Esarhaddon carried away the remains of the ten tribes. 2 Samuel 8:6

within: Isaiah 8:4, Isaiah 17:1-3; 2 Kings 17:5-23; Ezra 4:2

that it be not a people: Heb. from a people, Hosea 1:6-10
