TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

The Holy One of Israel

The phrase The Holy One of Israel is particularly prominent in the book of Isaiah, occurring around two dozen times. The Holy One is the King (6:5), the righteous and just one (26:7), the incomparable God (40:25), and the Redeemer of his people (41:14). Anyone coming to the Holy One must worship him in reverence and awe. The Holy One identifies himself with Mount Zion, called holy because it is his symbolic dwelling place (see 18:7; 24:23; 27:13; 56:7; 60:1-22).

The Holy One stands apart from all his creation because he is morally perfect. Sinful people cannot dwell with him (see 1:4). God’s holiness requires ritual purity and moral perfection. God is a consuming fire who purges away anything that does not conform to his holy will (see 33:14).

Yet the Holy One sets aside a remnant for himself (4:2-3; 6:13). He washes away their filth and commits to be present with them (12:6), his own redeemed people (35:8-9; 62:12; see also 49:7). He demonstrates his holy power as he comes to the aid of sinful and weak humans, rescues them from the exile that their sin creates, and opens up the new creation for them.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) Lebanon will be turned into a field, and the field will become a forest

(Some words not found in UHB: am=not again/more a_little while and,turned Ləⱱānōn into_the,fertile_field and,the,fertile_field as_the,forest seem )

This could mean: (1) this is literal and Yahweh will cause the places where trees grew wild in Lebanon to become fruitful fields or (2) this is a metaphor and the large forests of Lebanon represent powerful oppressors, and the crops that grow in the field and become a forest are the common people who are suffering. This means Yahweh will humble those who are powerful, but he will honor those who are suffering.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) Lebanon will be turned into a field

(Some words not found in UHB: am=not again/more a_little while and,turned Ləⱱānōn into_the,fertile_field and,the,fertile_field as_the,forest seem )

Here “Lebanon” represents the large cedar forests in Lebanon. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God will turn the mighty forests of Lebanon into a field” (See also: figs-activepassive)
