Darkness #Messiah texts Isaiah 60:3

10. Accompagnato (bass) – For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

Isaiah 60:2

Isaiah 60:3

כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֤ה הַחֹ֙שֶׁךְ֙ יְכַסֶּה־אֶ֔רֶץ וַעֲרָפֶ֖ל לְאֻמִּ֑ים
וְעָלַ֙יִךְ֙ יִזְרַ֣ח יְהוָ֔ה וּכְבוֹד֖וֹ עָלַ֥יִךְ יֵרָאֶֽה
For behold, the darkness covers earth, and dark turbulence the tribes,
but over you rises Yahweh, and his glory over you appears.

One might want to ask what is this visible glory of Yahweh. What do we 'take for granted' about glory? Glory has appeared already in the libretto and been ignored in another section.

Nations and Tribes -- again I strove to comb out the mappings of Hebrews stems to English glosses. These are under the domains of Family and Group. You can see my manual sorting of this complex area in the Glossary page
