Isaiah's Oracle Against Assyria (Isaiah 30, 27–33) In The Light Of Archæology
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 December 2009
Extract
A TEXT which others have confessed their inability to translate is always a challenge, and on reading some of the commentaries on Is. 30, 32 it seemed to me that it was possible to render it quite differently in such a way as to bring it into line with its context. However, if my interpretation were sound it would have to be established that it referred to an object which had special significance for Assyrians and Judeans in the 8th century B.C.
