‏ Isaiah 22:14

Verse 14. It was revealed in mine ears-"The voice of Jehovah"] The Vulgate has vox Domini; as if in his copy he had read kol Yehovah; and in truth, without the word kol, voice, it is not easy to make out the sense of the passage; as appears from the strange versions which the rest of the ancients, (except the Chaldee,) and many of the moderns, have given of it; as if the matter were revealed in or to the ears of JEHOVAH: εντοιςωσι κυριου, in the ears of the Lord, Septuagint. Vitringa translates it, Revelatus est in auribus meis JEHOVAH, "JEHOVAH hath revealed it in mine ears," and refers to 1Sa 2:27; 3:21: but the construction in those places is different, and there is no speech of God added; which here seems to want something more than the verb nigleh to introduce it. Compare Isa 5:9, where the text is still more imperfect.

The Lord God of hosts] Adonai Yehovah tsebaoth. But Adonai, Lord, is omitted by two of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., and by two of my own; by three editions, and the Septuagint, Syriac and Arabic.
