Isaiah 40:10
10 Look, the Sovereign Lord comes as a victorious warrior; ▼
▼tn Heb “comes as a strong one”; ASV “will come as a mighty one.” The preposition בְּ (bet) here carries the nuance “in the capacity of.” It indicates that the Lord possesses the quality expressed by the noun. See GKC 379 §119.i and HALOT 104 s.v. בְּ.
his military power establishes his rule. ▼
▼tn Heb “his arm rules for him” (so NIV84, NRSV); NIV11 “he rules with a mighty arm.” The Lord’s “arm” symbolizes his military power (see Isa 51:9-10; 63:5).
Look, his reward is with him;
his prize goes before him. ▼
