Context — The Prophecy of Desolationgenerated

22and from the abundance of milk they give, he will eat curds; for all who remain in the land will eat curds and honey.
23And on that day, in every place that had a thousand vines worth a thousand shekels of silver, only briers and thorns will be found.
24Men will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers and thorns.
25For fear of the briers and thorns, you will no longer traverse the hills once tilled by the hoe; they will become places for oxen to graze and sheep to trample.

Isaiah 7:24 describes a future time when the land will be so overrun with thorns and briers that men will have to hunt with bows and arrows. This imagery reflects a desolate state of the land, contrasting with its previous abundance. The surrounding verses emphasize the shift from fertility to barrenness, highlighting the consequences of disobedience and judgment.


Cross References

The Key Word חֵץ, ba.chi.Tzimgenerated

The word חֵץ (chetz) means 'arrow,' and is derived from a root that implies piercing. It is commonly used in contexts of hunting and warfare, symbolizing both physical weapons and divine judgment. In this verse, it emphasizes the tools men will use in a land that has become inhospitable.

This term appears frequently throughout the Old Testament, particularly in poetic and prophetic literature, reinforcing its significance in the imagery of conflict and survival.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verb יָ֣בוֹא (yavo, 'will go') governs the main action of the verse, with several phrases detailing the manner and context of that action. The structure emphasizes the conditions of the land and the means by which men will navigate it.

The prepositional phrases בַּחִצִּ֥ים (ba.chi.Tzim, 'with arrows') and וּבַקֶּ֖שֶׁת (u.va.Ke.shet, 'and with bow') clarify the tools used in this desolate land, while the adverb שָׁ֑מָּה (sham, 'there') provides location.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

In the Septuagint, חֵץ is rendered as βέλους (belous), which also means 'arrow' and maintains the same connotation of a weapon. This choice indicates a direct translation of the imagery without altering its meaning.

The use of τοχεύματος for קֶשֶׁת (qesheth, 'bow') shows a focus on the weapon's purpose, reinforcing the idea of hunting in a barren land.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text states, "בַּחִצִּ֥ים וּבַקֶּ֖שֶׁת יָ֣בוֹא שָׁ֑מָּה כִּי־ שָׁמִ֥יר וָשַׁ֖יִת תִּֽהְיֶ֥ה כָל־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃" The Septuagint aligns closely with the Masoretic Text, matching all ten words in a word-by-word correspondence, although it presents them in a different order. The Dead Sea Scrolls, particularly 1Qisaa, also agree with the Masoretic Text, providing the same ten words. However, 1Q8 and 4Q60 contain fewer words, with several parts restored or supplied by an editor, indicating some textual variation. Overall, the primary witnesses largely agree with the Masoretic Text, with minor differences in the Dead Sea Scrolls regarding completeness and restoration.

Bow

The bow was in use in early times both in war and in the chase (Gen. 21:20; 27:3; 48:22). The tribe of Benjamin were famous for the use of the bow (1 Chr. 8:40; 12:2; 2 Chr. 14:8; 17:17); so also were the Elamites (Isa. 22:6) and the Lydians (Jer. 46:9). The Hebrew word commonly used for bow means properly to tread (1 Chr. 5:18; 8:40), and hence it is concluded that the foot was employed in bending the bow. Bows of steel (correctly “copper”) are mentioned (2 Sam. 22:35;

(Genesis 37:10) The eastern mode of salutation, by kneeling upon one knee and bending the head forward till it touched the ground.

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

A weapon much used in ancient times, both for hunting and for war. It was made of wood, horn, or steel, Ge 27:3 Ps 18:34; and the foot was sometimes used in bending it. It was carried in a case, when not used, Hab 3:19. The Benjamites were celebrated for their skill in the use of this weapon, 1Ch 12:2 2Ch 14:8 17:17. See ARMS. The phrase, "a deceitful bow," to which the people of Israel are compared, Ps 78:57 Ho 7:16, means an ill-made or twisted bow, which does not shoot the arrow as it is aimed. In

(halakh, yalakh, bo', yatsa'; ago, hupago, anabaino, erchomi, aperchomai, poreuomai): "Go" ("went," etc.) occurs very frequently in the English Bible, and is the translation of a great many different Hebrew and Greek terms. As the word implies movement of all kinds, physical and mental, it has naturally many applications.

1. In the Old Testament:

In the Old Testament halakh and yalakh are among the commonest words, meaning "to go" in its original sense of "to walk," but also in the most varied senses, according to the verbal conjugations, etc., the preposition attached, and the words in connection with which the terms stand; halakh and yalakh are often used figuratively (translated "to walk," etc.) for to live, to pursue a way of life, e.g. "to walk ever in his ways" (De 19:9; compare

כִּי (ki) is a conjunction primarily meaning 'that,' 'for,' or 'when.' It indicates causal relationships and can express conditions like 'if' or 'though.'
