Isa 29:1-2 Ariel

Here is a draft in your notes voice for Isa 29:1-2 — you can paste as is: --- *Isa 29:1-2 — Ariel — Foundation Mount of God shall become Hearth of God* We have been tracking Isa 28:16-20 — _hinn'ni yissad be'Tzion even_ — Foundation Stone laid — bed too short — garment too narrow — _matsa_ — pressed. Now 29:1 opens same city. > _Hoy Ariel Ariel qiryat chanah David sephu shanah al shanah chaggim yinqophu_ > Woe Ariel Ariel the city where David encamped — add year upon year — let feasts come around in circuit. > _ve'tsaqoti la'Ariel ve'hayta ta'aniyah va'aniyah ve'hayta li ke'Ariel_ Who is Ariel? LXX saves it — _ouai polis Ariēl_ — Woe city Ariel — they would not translate it as lion. Targum saves it — _qirta d'shara David_ — city where dwelt David. Why? Because Ariel is two things in one spelling — and Ezekiel 43:15-16 proves it — first instance without א, other two with א: *v15a — הַהַרְאֵל — _har'el_ — without א — Mountain of God — upper — altar general — four cubits — Moriah — _har ha'Moriah_ 2 Chron 3:1 — where Solomon built — threshing floor of Ornan — mountain where Abraham _yira'eh_ — was seen — Gen 22:2* *v15b + v16 — הָאֲרִיאֵל — _ari'el_ — with א — Hearth of God — foundation hearth — twelve by twelve square — where fire eats — altar specific — _arel_ = hearth base.* So Isa 29:1 first Ariel = _har'el_ — Foundation Mount of God — Moriah — Jerusalem as foundation city — city where David laid foundation. Isa 29:2 second Ariel — _ve'hayta li ke'Ariel_ — and you shall be to Me AS Ariel — you who were mountain shall become hearth — Foundation of God shall become Altar of God — where city herself is eaten — moaning and wailing — _nohama va'ulitha_ as Targum has. That is Moriah could be Ariel — because Moriah is the mountain, Ariel is the hearth cut into its foundation — _even shetiyah_ — foundation stone. Now _naqaph_ — נָקַף — in v1 _chaggim yinqophu_ — to surround, to encircle, to strike off, to skin — Deut 24:20 _lo tenaqaph acharecha_ — thou shalt not beat off thy olive boughs again — to knock off and strip. Context demands circuit — _sovvu Zion ve'haqifuha_ Ps 48:12 — go around Zion — feasts come around year by year — _shanah al shanah_ — same wheel as Isa 28 — covenant with death — you trust your feast round to protect you. Why it can't be Moab — ABP LXX has _phagesthe gar syn Moab_ — for you shall eat with Moab — _synagagete gennēmata eniauton epi eniauton_ — gather produce year upon year. Moab is not in Hebrew consonants. MT has no מוֹאָב — it has _yinqophu_ — feasts go around. LXX read _naqaph_ as _to be surrounded and stripped and eaten_ — and explicated it — who eats your year-by-year gathering when Ariel is surrounded? Moab — _shnei ariel Moav_ 2 Sam 23:20 — heroes/foundations of Moab — traditional threshing-time enemy — Ruth 1. So Moab is reason for LXX reading of v2 — not translation — interpretation — they saw v2 _I will distress Ariel_ = encircle and skin — and rendered the stripping as eating with Moab — foundation city surrounded, skin stripped off, produce eaten by encircler. Hebrew keeps it veiled — _let feasts go around_ — until I break the circuit — v2. Foundation of God — _har'el_ — shall become Hearth of God — _ari'el_ — and that is why there is moaning — the city that was mountain of vision — Moriah — becomes altar where she herself burns.
