Studying Isaiah 61:1–2 and need to know more about a word, like “vengeance,” in the original Hebrew? Open up the Exegetical Guide, and instantly find a breakdown of the word’s meaning, its dictionary form, which part of speech it is—and where else that word is used in Scripture.
Learn grammatical reasons for the way a text is translated
Open a grammar in the Exegetical Guide, and you’ll see the grammatical reasons why a text like Isaiah 61:1–11 is translated the way it is.
Analyze a visual diagram of the text
Are you a visual learner? You can see Isaiah 61:2 in a graphical layout—a visual diagram of sentences, clauses, and phrases.
