TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

The Promise of a Second Exodus

Like the exodus from Egypt, Israel’s return from exile would restore God’s people to the land. Just as they had left Egypt many years before, the people of Israel would leave Babylon (Isa 48:20-21). This time they would have to be cleansed (52:11) and would not rush their departure (52:12).

Both the experience in exile and the journey are likened to a desert (see 35:1) from which the Lord would bring rescue. He prepares a road through the desert (43:19), transforms the desert into a watering hole with vegetation and animals (43:19-20), removes obstacles along the way (42:16; 49:11), guides his people through the desert (42:16; 58:11; 63:13), feeds them (49:10), protects them from the desert heat (49:10), and strengthens them (58:11). He changes the experience of the exiles from sorrow to great joy (51:3) and pours out his Spirit on them (44:3-4).

An exodus of sorts also occurs for all those who believe in Christ—an exodus from sin and death through Christ’s death and the power of his resurrection. The Holy Spirit enables believers to live in newness of life and to serve God with joy as they await the coming of his kingdom in all its fullness.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) Leave, leave

(Some words not found in UHB: depart depart go_out from=there unclean not touch go_out from,midst,it purify carry vessels_of YHWH )

This word is repeated to emphasize that the people must indeed leave, although not necessarily right away.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) go out from there

(Some words not found in UHB: depart depart go_out from=there unclean not touch go_out from,midst,it purify carry vessels_of YHWH )

It is assumed knowledge that the people of Israel were slaves in Babylon. This can be stated explicitly. Alternate translation: “go out from the land where you are slaves”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) touch nothing unclean

(Some words not found in UHB: depart depart go_out from=there unclean not touch go_out from,midst,it purify carry vessels_of YHWH )

Something that Yahweh has stated is unfit to touch or eat is spoken of as if it were physically unclean. Alternate translation: “touch nothing that is unacceptable to Yahweh”

(Occurrence 0) leave from her midst

(Some words not found in UHB: depart depart go_out from=there unclean not touch go_out from,midst,it purify carry vessels_of YHWH )

Here “her” represents Babylon.
