Context — The Promise of Restorationgenerated

21They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22No longer will they build houses for others to inhabit, nor plant for others to eat. For as is the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, and My chosen ones will fully enjoy the work of their hands.
23They will not labor in vain or bear children doomed to disaster; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD— they and their descendants with them.
24Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear.

Isaiah 65:22 presents a vision of a time when God's people will no longer labor for others but will enjoy the results of their own efforts. This reflects a profound shift in their circumstances, emphasizing personal ownership and fulfillment. The surrounding verses, including Isaiah 65:21 and Isaiah 65:23, reinforce this theme of blessing and divine favor, indicating a future where God's people are secure and prosperous.

The Key Word בָּלָה, ye.va.Lugenerated

The verb בָּלָה (balah) means to become old or worn out, but in this context, it conveys the sense of fully enjoying or delighting in something. It implies a deep satisfaction derived from the fruits of one's labor, suggesting that the work of God's people will not only be productive but also fulfilling.

This word is used in the Piel form, indicating an active enjoyment or consumption of the results of their efforts. Thus, the chosen ones are depicted as experiencing the full benefits of their labor, a contrast to the previous state of toil for others.


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 consists of several clauses, with the main action centered around the verbs יִבְנוּ (they will build) and יִטְּע֖וּ (they will plant). The structure emphasizes the negation of laboring for others, followed by a description of the lasting nature of God's people's days.

The finite verbs govern the actions described, while the phrases elaborating on the subjects and objects provide clarity on who benefits from the work. The use of parallelism in the structure reinforces the contrast between past hardships and future blessings.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates יִבְנוּ as οἰκοδομήσουσιν, indicating a direct correspondence to the Hebrew meaning of building. This choice reflects a consistent understanding of the action involved.

However, the translation of בָּלָה as παλαιώσουσιν suggests a slightly different nuance, leaning more towards the idea of aging or becoming old rather than the enjoyment aspect emphasized in the Hebrew.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Isaiah 65:22 tells us that God's people will no longer work for others but will build and plant for themselves. They will enjoy the fruits of their own labor, just as the lifespan of a tree is long, indicating a time of blessing and fulfillment for God's chosen ones.

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

The Masoretic Text (MT) of Isaiah 65:22 states that people will not build houses for others or plant for others to eat, emphasizing the longevity of their days akin to that of a tree. The Septuagint (LXX) agrees with the MT in meaning, as it matches 16 of the 17 words in a word-by-word correspondence, although it presents the text with its own word order and articles. The Dead Sea Scrolls (1Q8 and 1Qisaa) also align closely with the MT, containing 17 words that reflect the same ideas and structure, with minor variations in spelling and wording. Overall, the MT is well-supported by these ancient witnesses, affirming its textual integrity.

dwel:

(1) In the Old Testament "dwell" is a translation of 9 words, of which by far the most frequent is yashabh, "to sit down," translated "dwell" over 400 times (Ge 4:20; Jos 20:4; 1Ch 17:1,4,5, etc.); also very frequently "sit," and sometimes "abide," "inhabit," "remain." Another word often rendered "dwell" is shakhan or shakhen ("to settle down"), from which is derived the rabbinic word shekhinah (literally, "that which dwells"), the light on the mercy-seat which symbolized the Divine presence (Ex 25:8, etc.). In order to avoid appearing to localize the Divine Being, wherever God is said to "dwell" in a place, the Targum renders that He "causes His Shekinah to dwell"…

Dwell

Tents were in primitive times the common dwellings of men. Houses were afterwards built, the walls of which were frequently of mud (Job 24:16; Matt. 6:19, 20) or of sun-dried bricks.

God “dwells in light” (1 Tim. 6:16; 1 John 1:7), in heaven (Ps. 123:1), in his church (Ps. 9:11; 1 John 4:12). Christ dwelt on earth in the days of his humiliation (John 1:14). He now dwells in the hearts of his people (Eph.…

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.

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.

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

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…
