*Anshei Latzon and the Two Tongues* When I see *latzon in Isa 28:14 [לָצוֹן]* I think of *lashon [לָשׁוֹן]*. Tongue, to speak. Even though the root here is *l-w-ts [ל־ו־צ]* — to mouth at. Either in scorn, Or as Ambassador. To squeeze in, crowd, afflict as in LXX is hard to see. But this seems to back what Isaiah is doing. The leaders are mocking. And of course they will mock 28:9-12.

And whom will He make to understand message? Those weaned from milk, drawn from breasts.* *This is not priests mocking. This is GOD'S school. Weaned = not babies. Grown enough to eat meat. Not milk.* *How does He feed weaned ones?* #### *V10 — His Method — Not Their Mock* *Your Eastern Peshitta from Bauscher — and MT:* *Transliteration: Ki tsav latsav tsav latsav qav laqav qav laqav ze'er sham ze'er sham.* *Hebrew ( כי צו לצו צו לצו קו לקו קו לקו זעיר שם זעיר שם )* *Eastern Peshitta Bauscher reading: Tabta a...
