Context — God's Promise to Ziongenerated

1For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still, until her righteousness shines like a bright light, her salvation like a blazing torch.
2Nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.
3You will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem in the palm of your God.
4No longer will you be called Forsaken, nor your land named Desolate; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be His bride.

Isaiah 62:2 describes a future time when the nations will recognize the righteousness of God's people and their glory will be evident to all. This is part of a larger promise where God assures Zion of her restoration and honor. The surrounding verses emphasize God's unwavering commitment to His people and the transformation that will take place in their identity and status among the nations.

The Key Word צִדְקֵ֔ךְ, tzid.Kekhgenerated

The word צִדְקֵ֔ךְ (tzidkekh) is a construct form of the noun צֶ֫דֶק (tsedeq), meaning 'righteousness' or 'justice.' It conveys the idea of moral integrity and is often associated with God's character and the ethical standards expected of His people.

In this verse, it signifies the righteousness that will be visible to the nations, highlighting the transformative power of God's presence among His people. The parsing indicates that it is in the singular form, directed towards the audience, emphasizing personal and communal righteousness.


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 finite verb וְרָא֤וּ (ve.ra'u), meaning 'and they will see,' governs the main clause, with the subject גוֹיִם֙ (goyim) indicating the nations that will witness the righteousness. The structure emphasizes the action of seeing as central to the verse's message.

Following this, the verse presents a second clause introduced by וְקֹ֤רָא (ve.kora'), meaning 'and it will be called,' which describes the new name that will be given, further expanding on the transformation of identity.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

In the Septuagint, the Hebrew וְרָא֤וּ is rendered as ὄψονται (opsontai), meaning 'they will see.' This choice maintains the visual aspect of recognition and emphasizes the nations' awareness of God's righteousness.

The Greek translation captures the essence of the original Hebrew while also aligning with the broader themes of divine revelation and acknowledgment among the nations.

(2) Thou shalt be called by a new name . . .—So in Jeremiah 33:16, the name of the restored city is to be “Jehovah our Righteousness.” The root-thought is that the altered state is to be embodied, as in the case of Abraham and Israel, in a new name. Here, however, the effect of the promise is heightened, as in Revelation 2:17; Revelation 3:12, by the absence of the new ‘name, as something which is to transcend all experience.

nam (shem; onoma; Latin nomen (2 Esdras 4:1); verbs onomazo; Latin nomino (2 Esdras 5:26)): A "name" is that by which a person, place or thing is marked and known. In Scripture, names were generally descriptive of the person, of his position, of some circumstance affecting him, hope entertained concerning him, etc., so that "the name" often came to stand for the person. In Ac 1:15; Re 3:4, onoma stands for "persons"; compare Nu 26:53,55.

I. Old Testament Word and Use.

1. General:

The word for "name" in the Old Testament is shem (also the name of one of the sons of Noah). The etymology is uncertain, although it may be from shamah (obs.), "to set a mark"; shum is the Aramaic form. For the name as descriptive of the person see NAMES.…

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.

OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]

1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. 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. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'
