Isaiah 9:3

And not increased the joy "Thou hast increased their joy" - Eleven MSS. of Kennicott's and six of De Ross's, two ancient, read לו lo , it, according to the Masoretical correction, instead of לא lo , not. To the same purpose the Targum and Syriac.

The joy in harvest - בקציר כשמחת kesimchath bakkatsir . For בקציר bakkatsir one MS. of Kennicott's and one of De Rossi's have קציר katsir , and another הקציר hakkatsir , "the harvest;" one of which seems to be the true, reading, as the noun preceding is in regimine .
