Isaiah 49:6

And to restore the preserved of Irsrae "And to restore the branches of Israel" - נצירי netsirey , or נצורי netsurey , as the Masoretes correct it in the marginal reading. This word has been matter of great doubt with interpreters: the Syriac renders it the branch, taking it for the same with נצר netser , Isaiah 11:1 . See Michaelis Epim. in Praelect. xix.
