UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) The River will sweep onward into Judah, flooding and passing on, until it reaches to your neck

(Some words not found in UHB: and,sweep_on in/on/at/with,Judah overflow and,pouring_over until neck reach and=it_was outspread wings,its fill breadth land,your עִמָּנוּ אֵל )

The army of Assyria is like a flood of water. Alternate translation: “More and more soldiers will come like a river rising up to your neck”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) The River

(Some words not found in UHB: and,sweep_on in/on/at/with,Judah overflow and,pouring_over until neck reach and=it_was outspread wings,its fill breadth land,your עִמָּנוּ אֵל )

This refers to the Euphrates River in Assyria. This is a metonym for the Assyrian soldiers, who will come from their homes by the Euphrates River (Isaiah 8:7).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) Its outstretched wings will fill

(Some words not found in UHB: and,sweep_on in/on/at/with,Judah overflow and,pouring_over until neck reach and=it_was outspread wings,its fill breadth land,your עִמָּנוּ אֵל )

This could mean: (1) as “the River” in the metaphor rises, its “wings” flow over and cover what had been dry land or (2) Isaiah changes metaphors and now speaks of Yahweh as a bird who is protecting the land, “But his outstretched wings will cover.”

(Occurrence 0) Immanuel

(Some words not found in UHB: and,sweep_on in/on/at/with,Judah overflow and,pouring_over until neck reach and=it_was outspread wings,its fill breadth land,your עִמָּנוּ אֵל )

Translators may add a footnote that says: “The name Immanuel means ‘God with us.’” See how you translated this in Isaiah 7:14.
