It's Tuesday and once again I'm just now getting the next assignment up. BUT, since half our Group is gone tomorrow, we won't meet this week. So you've got a whole week to work on this! Still, even though the next section we'll study is Isaiah 6-10:4, let's limit the homework to Isaiah 6-8. Here you go:
1. From Isa 6:1-4 list all the ways God is described, including names and characteristics. What do you make of this long and varied list?
2. In the same passage (6:1-4) what word do you see repeated three times, besides "holy" (and obviously besides "and", "the", and the like)? What do you make of this?
3. How would you label the sequence, or steps, in these sections of chapter 6: 1) vs. 1-4; 2) vs. 5-7; 3) v. 8; 4) vs. 9-10; 5) vs. 11-13? How do they relate to each other?
4. List and give what you think the meanings are for the metaphors/similes in Isa 7-8 used both for the nations the Lord would raise up to judge Judah and also those used for the Lord Himself.
5. In what specific ways is Isa 8:18 carried out in chapters 7 and 8?
Bonuses, for an added challenge:
1. The meaning and significance of "house of David" in chapter 7
2. The meaning and proper interpretation of the word "virgin" in 7:14
3. The two different translations of 8:6 among the versions (e.g. NIV, NET, NAS, NRS) and why
