Context — The Judgment Against Sidongenerated

11The LORD has stretched out His hand over the sea; He has made kingdoms tremble. He has given a command that the strongholds of Canaan be destroyed.
12He said, “You shall rejoice no more, O oppressed Virgin Daughter of Sidon. Get up and cross over to Cyprus— even there you will find no rest.”
13Look at the land of the Chaldeans — a people now of no account. The Assyrians destined it for the desert creatures; they set up their siege towers and stripped its palaces. They brought it to ruin.
14Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for your harbor has been destroyed!

Isaiah 23:12 presents a declaration from the Lord regarding the fate of Sidon, an ancient city known for its maritime trade. The passage emphasizes the cessation of joy for Sidon, symbolized by the Virgin Daughter, and the futility of seeking refuge in Cyprus. This warning reflects the broader themes of judgment and the consequences of oppression found throughout the prophetic literature, particularly in relation to cities that have turned away from God.

The Key Word עָלַז, la'.Lozgenerated

The Hebrew verb עָלַז (alaz) means to exult or rejoice triumphantly. It conveys a sense of exuberant joy, often associated with celebration and happiness. In this context, it highlights the stark contrast between the past joy of Sidon and the present judgment they face, as they are told they will no longer rejoice.

The use of this word underscores the severity of the situation for Sidon, as the Lord's declaration signifies a complete loss of joy, marking a significant turning point for the city.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The verse is structured around a series of imperatives and declarations, with the finite verb וַיֹּ֕אמֶר, and he said, leading the statement. The main clause is followed by several phrases that elaborate on the command to the Virgin Daughter of Sidon.

The order of the Hebrew words places emphasis on the commands given to Sidon, highlighting the urgency of the message as it transitions from the declaration of judgment to the call for action.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates וַיֹּ֕אמֶר as ἐροῦσιν, which indicates a future declaration. This choice emphasizes the prophetic nature of the statement, suggesting that the message is not only a warning but also a definitive pronouncement of what is to come.

The translation of עָלַז as ὑβρίζειν suggests a focus on the concept of arrogance rather than simple joy, which may indicate an interpretive shift towards understanding the emotional state of Sidon in light of their impending judgment.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(12) Thou oppressed virgin.—Strictly speaking, the noun and adjective are incompatible, the latter conveying the sense of “defiled,” or “deflowered.” Till now Tyre had known no defeat. Her fortress was a virgin citadel. Now the barbarian conqueror was to rob her of that virginity. Pass over to Chittim.—With a keen irony the prophet gives a counsel which he declares will be of no avail. They may flee to Chittim (Cyprus); but the power of the Assyrians would reach them even there. Once and again the inscriptions of the Assyrian kings record how they subdued and took tribute from “Yatnan,” the “island in the sea of the setting sun,” which can be none other than Cyprus (e.g., Sargon in Records…

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges

12. And he said] What follows may be regarded as the “commandment” referred to in Isaiah 23:11. O thou oppressed (or ravished) virgin, daughter of Zidon] The epithet “virgin” is applied to Zidon as a fortress hitherto unviolated by a conqueror. It is an almost inevitable inference that the calamity here described is the first she has known, at least within living memory. This would apply to the campaign of Shalmaneser, but not to that of Sennacherib.

The Masoretic Text and the Dead Sea Scrolls show agreement in the essential wording of the verse, though some scrolls contain restored words. The Septuagint, while differing in word order and some vocabulary, conveys a similar message of judgment against Sidon.

a-gen': Advb. denoting repetition; in New Testament, generally for palin, "back," "once more." Occasionally, it has the force of a connective, synonymous with "moreover," as in Ro 15:10 ff; 1Co 3:20, etc. The expression "born again" of the King James Version, Joh 3:3,7; 1Pe 1:23, translating the Greek "anothen" and "ana" in composition, becomes in the Revised Version (British and American) "anew," i.e. "over again." As these particles mean "from above" and "up," their use as indicating repetition is sometimes disputed, but without further foundation than that "again" does not exhaust the meaning.

An island situated near the Northeast corner of the Levant, in an angle formed by the coasts of Cilicia and Syria. In the Old Testament it is called Kittim, after the name of its Phoenician capital Kition. The identification is expressly made by Josephus (Ant., I, vi, 1) and by the Cyprian bishop Epiphanius (Haer., xxx.25). In the tablets from Tell el- Amarna it is referred to as Alashia (E.

One of the largest islands of the Mediterranean, about 148 miles long and 40 broad. It is distant about 60 miles from the Syrian coast. It was the “Chittim” of the Old Testament (Num. 24:24). The Greek colonists gave it the name of Kypros, from the cyprus, i.e., the henna (see CAMPHIRE), which grew on this island. It was originally inhabited by Phoenicians. In B.C. 477 it fell under the dominion of the Greeks; and became a Roman province B.C. 58. In ancient times it was a centre of great commercial activity. Corn and wine and oil were produced here in the greatest perfection. It was rich also in timber and in mineral wealth.

(nuach, menuchah, "cessation from motion," "peace," "quiet," etc.; anapausis, [@katapausis): "Rest" in the above sense is of frequent occurrence, and is the translation of several words with various applications and shades of meaning, chiefly of the words given above. It is applied to God as ceasing from the work of creating on the 7th day (Ge 2:2 f) ; as having His place of rest in the midst of His people in the temple (1Ch 28:2; Ps 132:8,14); as resting in His love among His people (Ze 3:17, the Revised Version margin "Hebrew, `be silent' "). The 7th day was to be one of rest (Ex 16:23; 31:15; see SABBATH); the land also was to have its rest in the 7th year (

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Rest

(1.) Gr. katapausis, equivalent to the Hebrew word noah (Heb. 4:1).

(2.) Gr. anapausis, “rest from weariness” (Matt. 11:28).

(3.) Gr. anesis, “relaxation” (2 Thess. 1:7).

(4.) Gr. sabbatismos, a Sabbath rest, a rest from all work (Heb. 4:9; R.V., “sabbath”), a rest like that of God when he had finished the work of creation.

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

In Ac 9:31, refers to the respite from persecution enjoyed by the Christians in Palestine, after the conversion of Saul of Tarsus, during the last two years of Caligula’s short reign, A. D. 39 and 40, when the Jews were so harassed by the attempts of the emperor to force them to worship him as a god, that they forbore to afflict the followers of Christ.
