Isaiah 9:2
2 [Heb. 9:1] The people walking in darknesssee a bright light; ▼
light shines
on those who live in a land of deep darkness. ▼
▼ Traditionally צַלְמָוֶת (tsalmavet) has been interpreted as a compound noun, meaning “shadow of death” (so KJV, ASV, NIV), but usage indicates that the word, though it sometimes refers to death, means “darkness.” The term should probably be repointed as an abstract noun צַלְמוּת (tsalmut). See the note at Ps 23:4.
