Isaiah 58:11
Verse 11. And make fat thy bones-"And he shall renew thy strength"] Chaldaeus forte legit yachaliph otsmathecha; confer cap. xl. 29, 31, et xli. 1.-SECKER. "The Chaldee perhaps read yachaliph otsmathecha." The Chaldee has veguphach vechaiyey bechaiyey alma, "and he will vivify thy body in life eternal." The rest of the ancients seem not to know what to make of yachalits; and the rendering of the Vulgate, which seems to be the only proper one, ossa tua liberabit, "he will deliver thy bones," makes no sense. I follow this excellent emendation; to favour which it is still farther to be observed that three MSS., instead of atsmotheycha, have otsmathecha, singular.-L.
