Context — The Judgment on Moabgenerated

9And in that day it will be said, “Surely this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He has saved us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited. Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”
10For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain. But Moab will be trampled in his place as straw is trodden into the dung pile.
11He will spread out his hands within it, as a swimmer spreads his arms to swim. His pride will be brought low, despite the skill of his hands.
12The high-walled fortress will be brought down, cast to the ground, into the dust.

Isaiah 25:10 presents a vivid contrast between the divine favor resting on a mountain and the fate of Moab, which will be trampled underfoot. This passage illustrates God's sovereignty over nations and His protective hand over His chosen people. The surrounding verses further emphasize the theme of salvation and judgment, highlighting the ultimate triumph of God over His enemies, as seen in Isaiah 25:9 and Isaiah 25:11.

The Key Word יְהוָ֖ה, Yah.wehgenerated

The name יְהוָ֖ה (Yahweh) is the covenant name of God, signifying His eternal and self-existent nature. It is used throughout the Old Testament to denote the God of Israel, emphasizing His relationship with His people.

In this verse, Yahweh's hand represents His power and authority, symbolizing His active involvement in the world. The verb form indicates that His hand will rest, suggesting a state of stability and protection over the mountain, contrasting with the fate of Moab.


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 main verb in the verse is תָנ֥וּחַ, it will rest, which governs the subject יְהוָ֖ה and the prepositional phrase בָּהָ֣ר on this mountain. The second part of the verse introduces a contrasting clause with another verb וְנָ֤דוֹשׁ, and it will be trampled down, indicating the fate of Moab.

The structure emphasizes the contrast between God's protective hand and the judgment on Moab, highlighting the prophetic nature of the declaration.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates יְהוָ֖ה as θεὸς (Theos), which retains the sense of divinity but shifts the focus slightly from the covenant name to a more general term for God.

The translation of תָנ֥וּחַ as ἀνάπαυσιν (anapausin) suggests a resting or cessation, which aligns with the idea of divine presence but may lack the specific covenantal implications of the Hebrew.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Isaiah 25:10 tells us that the hand of the LORD will rest on a mountain, symbolizing His power and protection. In contrast, Moab will be trampled down, like straw in a dung heap, showing the judgment that awaits those opposed to God.

What does it mean that the hand of the LORD will rest on the mountain?

It signifies God's power and presence, indicating His protection and favor over that place.

Why is Moab described as being trampled?

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

(10) Moab shall be trodden down . . .—There seems at first something like a descent from the great apocalypse of a triumph over death and sin and sorrow, to a name associated with the local victories or defeats of a remote period in the history of Israel. The inscription of the Moabite stone, in connection with Isaiah 15, helps to explain the nature of the allusion. Moab had been prominent among the enemies of Israel; the claims of Chemosh, the god of Moab, had been set up against those of Jehovah, the God of Israel (Records of the Past, xi. 166), and so the name had become representative of His enemies. There was a mystical Moab, as there was afterwards a mystical Babylon, and in Rabbinic…

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text states, "For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain. But Moab will be trampled in his place as straw is trodden into the dung pile." The Septuagint closely matches the Masoretic Text, with 12 of the 13 words aligning, although it presents them in a different order and structure. The Dead Sea Scrolls, both 1Qisaa and 4Q57, also agree with the Masoretic Text, preserving the same essential wording. 1Qisaa has 13 words that directly correspond to the Masoretic Text, while 4Q57 has some restored and supplied words but maintains the overall meaning. Thus, all ancient witnesses agree with the Masoretic Text in this verse, affirming its content and message.

(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.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places.

Used in brick-making (Ex. 5:7-18). Used figuratively in Job 41:27; Isa. 11:7; 25:10; 65:25.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Both wheat and barley straw were used by the ancient Hebrews chiefly as fodder for the horses cattle and camels. (Genesis 24:25; 1 Kings 4:28; Isaiah 11:7; 66:25) There is no intimation that straw was used for litter. It was employed by the Egyptians for making bricks, (Exodus 5:7,16) being chopped up and mixed with the clay to make them more compact and to prevent their cracking. [See BRICK] The ancient Egyptians reaped their corn close to the ear, and afterward cut the straw close to the ground and laid it by. This was the straw that Pharaoh refused to give to the Israelites who were therefore compelled to gather "stubble" instead --a matter of considerable difficulty, seeing that the straw itself had been cut off near to the…

A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…
