The Key Word — יְשֽׁוּעָתִי, ye.shu.'a.Tigenerated
The word יְשׁוּעָה (yeshu'ah) refers to salvation or deliverance, derived from a root meaning to save. It encompasses ideas of rescue, victory, and welfare, often with a spiritual dimension. In this context, it signals God's promise of imminent deliverance for His people.
The construction of the word as a feminine singular construct with a suffix indicates possession, translating to 'my salvation.' This personalizes the promise, underscoring God's intimate relationship with His people and His active role in their deliverance.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses salvation for יְשׁוּעָתִי. The KJV also uses salvation, while the ASV and YLT render it similarly.
Where translations differ is in the rendering of קְרוֹבָ֤ה — ke.ro.Vah. The BSB and KJV use near, while the GNV opts for at hand.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse is structured around a series of commands initiated by the verb אָמַ֣ר, 'he says', with two imperative verbs following: שִׁמְר֥וּ (keep) and עֲשׂ֣וּ (do). This structure emphasizes the LORD's authoritative command.
The sentence flows with a cause-and-effect relationship, linking the commands to the assurance of His coming salvation and righteousness, which are articulated at the end of the verse.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew יְשׁוּעָתִי is translated as μου (mou), meaning 'my.' This choice emphasizes the personal nature of God's salvation, aligning with the Hebrew's possessive form.
The Greek word κρίσιν translates מִשְׁפָּ֖ט, indicating a focus on justice as a legal or judicial concept, which may reflect a broader understanding of justice in the Hellenistic context.

It has been said (Cheyne, following many other critics) that “the writer of this section presupposes the circumstances of a period long subsequent to the reign of Hessekiah.” It will be seen in the following notes that I cannot altogether accept that statement, and find circumstances in the closing years of Isaiah’s life which may well have given occasion to his teaching here. It obviously does not stand in any close connection with the preceding chapter. Keep ye judgment—i.e., the righteousness of the law. The general exhortation is specialised in the next verse.

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges1, 2. The exhortation to righteousness is based on the nearness of Jehovah’s salvation (cf. Isaiah 46:13, Isaiah 55:6). justice should be righteousness (as in R.V.), the same word as in the last line of the verse, but in a different sense. In the first case righteousness means conformity to the law of God (cf. Isaiah 58:2), in the second it is, as often, equivalent to salvation. The thought that salvation is near is as characteristic of the later chapters of this book as of chs. 40–55. (see Isaiah 57:14, Isaiah 58:8 ff., Isaiah 59:15 ff., Isaiah 60:1 ff., Isaiah 62:6 &c.), but it is equally prominent in the post-Exilic prophecies of Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text (MT) of Isaiah 56:1 reads: "כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה שִׁמְר֥וּ מִשְׁפָּ֖ט וַעֲשׂ֣וּ צְדָקָ֑ה כִּֽי־ קְרוֹבָ֤ה יְשֽׁוּעָתִי֙ לָב֔וֹא וְצִדְקָתִ֖י לְהִגָּלֽוֹת׃" The Septuagint (LXX) closely matches the MT, with 12 of the 13 words corresponding, although it presents them in its own word order. The Dead Sea Scrolls include two versions (1Qisaa and 1Q8) that agree with the MT, with minor variations in spelling and word forms. The 4Q56 scroll does not preserve the text but has its words supplied by an editor, indicating that it also aligns with the MT. Overall, the primary witnesses affirm the MT's wording and meaning, with slight variations noted in the scrolls.
כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה שִׁמְר֥וּ מִשְׁפָּ֖ט וַעֲשׂ֣וּ צְדָקָ֑ה כִּֽי־ קְרוֹבָ֤ה יְשֽׁוּעָתִי֙ לָב֔וֹא וְצִדְקָתִ֖י לְהִגָּלֽוֹת׃
12 of the 13 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.

Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God.

Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'

jus'-tis (tsedhaqah; tsedheq; dikaiosune): The original Hebrew and Greek words are the same as those rendered "righteousness." This is the common rendering, and in about half the cases where we have "just" and "justice" in the King James Version, the American Standard Revised Version has changed to "righteous" and "righteousness." It must be constantly borne in mind that the two ideas are essentially the same.
See RIGHTEOUSNESS.
1. Human Justice:
Justice had primarily to do with conduct in relation to others, especially with regard to the rights of others. It is applied to business, where just weights and measures are demanded (Le 19:35,36; De 25:13-16; Am 8:5; Pr 11:1; 16:11…
Justice
Is rendering to every one that which is his due. It has been distinguished from equity in this respect, that while justice means merely the doing what positive law demands, equity means the doing of what is fair and right in every separate case.
A principle of righteousness and equity, controlling our conduct, and securing a due regard to all the rights of others-their persons, property, character, and interests. It has to do, not with pecuniary transactions alone, but with all our intercourse with society. It forms a chief element of the character approved in God’s word; and a truly just man has but to "love mercy, and walk humbly with God," to fulfil all righteousness. Justice in magistrates, rulers, and judges, must be fearless and impartial, and all its decisions such as will bear revision before the court of heaven, De 1:16,17 2Sa 23:3 2Ch 19:6-10. Judgement is peculiarly the prerogative of God, and every earthly tribunal lies under the shadow of the "great white…

Rectitude, justice, holiness; an essential perfection of God’s character, Job 36:3; Isa 51:5-8; Joh 17:25; and of his administration, Ge 18:25; Ro 3:21,22; 10:3. It is the wonder of grace that as the righteous guardian of the law, he can acquit the unrighteous. "The righteousness of Christ" includes his spotless holiness, his perfect obedience the law demands; and "the righteousness of faith" is that imputed to the sinner who believes in Christ. With reference to personal character, righteousness is used both for uprightness between man and man, and for true religion,
