UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

General Information:

Yahweh speaks of blessing the people freely as if he were selling food and drink to needy people for free.

Connecting Statement:

Yahweh continues speaking to the people of Jerusalem in exile through Isaiah.

(Occurrence 0) Come … Come

(Some words not found in UHB: ho all/each/any/every thirsty come to_the,waters and=which not to=him/it money come buy and,eat and,come buy in/on/at/with,no money and,in/on/at/with,no cost wine and,milk )

The repetition of this word four times adds a sense of urgency to the invitation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

(Occurrence 0) buy wine and milk without money and without cost

There is a sense of irony in this statement since a person usually has to use money to buy something. This emphasizes Yahweh’s amazing grace in giving these things freely.
