TH E REV. J. J. LIAS, M.A., ON THE UNITY OF ISAIAH. 73 



enachem (ease) and anakmah (avenge), in i, 24. In v, 7, we have 

 mishpat (judgment) paired with mispach (iniquity), and tzedahdh 

 (righteousness) with tzeghakah (cry). In the second Isaiah mal'ah 

 tzebaah (xl, 2); also xl, 12, maim w'shamaim ; (21) halo tedghu, 

 and halo yishmaghu ; yaggishu wyaggidu (xli, 22); and in the 

 other alleged " pseudo- Isaiahs " habboged boged and hashoded 

 shdded (xxi, 2, see xxiv, 16, xxxiii, 1). Also xxiv, 3, hibboh 

 h'bbdk . . . hibboz libboz and pachad w'pachath wpach (verse 17). 

 These are merely specimens of what is found everywhere 

 throughout all the whole prophecy, and though it may be occa- 

 sionally found in other writings, it stamps the whole Book of 

 I s; ii aii as one written by a man who has the ear as well as the 

 mind and heart of a poet. 



(6) Expressions peculiar to Isaiah. The most remarkable of 

 these is " the Holy One of Israel." This occurs twenty-eight 

 times in the book, twelve being in the undisputed portion, four- 

 teen in the " second " Isaiah, one in the " fragments," and one in 

 the historical part. It is almost entirely confined to Isaiah, occur- 

 ring only six times elsewhere in the Old Testament, the passage 

 in ii Kings xix, 22, being Isaiah's contribution to his country's 

 history. The late Dr. Kennedy connected it with the inefface- 

 able impression made upon the prophet by that awe-inspiring 

 vision given to him, " in the year that King Uzziah died." The 

 cumulative force of such minute touches is very great. 



" Lord of Hosts." This occurs in Isaiah's vision, just 

 referred to. It is found in a few of David's Psalms, and twice 

 in II Samuel, among books written before Isaiah's time ; in the 

 later prophets it is found infrequently, except in Haggai, but it 

 occurs very often in the undisputed Isaiah, and also in the 

 " fragments," and occasionally in the " second " Isaiah. The 

 critics deal very cautiously with the agreements between what 

 they have left of Isaiah and the " fragments," — a good deal 

 more cautiously than they are accustomed to deal with Hebrew 

 literature generally. 



" Mighty God of Jacob " or " Israel." These words are almost 

 peculiar to the Book of Isaiah, occurring elsewhere only once in 

 Genesis and once in the Psalms. They do not occur in the 

 " fragments," but are found once in the undisputed chapters 

 and twice in " second " Isaiah. 



" The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." The expression 

 occurs once in the undisputed and twice in the " second " 

 Isaiah, but very similar expressions are found in the undisputed 

 Isaiah and four times in the " fragments." 



The phrases " Holy Mountain," " Mountain of the Lord,"
