Verse 11
see THE LORD = appear before Jah. Reference to Pentateuch. See note on Isaiah 1:12 ; and on "appear" (Exodus 23:15 ; Exodus 34:20 ).
in the land of the living. This expression occurs three times with the Art. ("the living") in the Hebrew (viz. here; Job 28:13 ; and Psalms 142:5 ). Without the Art. it occurs eight times. See note on Ezekiel 26:20 .
the living: i.e. alive on the earth. Not Sheol, which is the place of the dead.
the world. Hebrew. hadel = a quiet land: i.e. when this invasion shall be ended. Some codices read heled (transposing the l and d) = the transitory world: hadel occurs only here.
