https://doi.org/10.31802/BCA.2025.28.4.002
Abstract
Part four of the Church academic translation of the Book of the Prophet Isaiah according to the Septuagint version includes chapters from the 19th to the 25th. The translators rely on the interpretations preserved under the name of St. John Chrysostom, as well as the commentaries of St. Ephraim the Syrian, St. Cyril of Alexandria, St. Theodoret of Cyrus, Eusebius of Caesarea, St. Ambrose of Milan, as well as daughter translations and parallels in the text of the Septuagint itself and in the New Testament. In the following chapters and notes, the reader will learn about the fates of Egypt and Tyre, what it means to drink water near the sea and to drink joy, who a horseman on a pair is, what harvest the seed of merchants brings, and whom the death could overcome.
