Isa 56:2-6 | NASB1995 | STEP | “How blessed is the man who does this , And the son of man who takes hold of it; Who keeps from profaning the sabbath , And keeps his hand from doing any evil .”

Isaiah 56:2-6

2 “How ^ablessed is the man who does this,
And the son of man who ^btakes hold of it;
Who ^ckeeps from profaning the sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3 Let not the ^dforeigner who has joined himself to the Lord say,
“The Lord will surely separate me from His people.”
Nor let the ^eeunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”

4 For thus says the Lord, “To the eunuchs who ^fkeep My sabbaths,
And choose what pleases Me,
And ^ghold fast My covenant,
5 To them I will give in My ^hhouse and within My ⁱwalls a memorial,
And a name better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give ^{▼▼ So DSS; M.T. reads him}them an everlasting ^kname which ^lwill not be cut off.

6 “Also the ^mforeigners who join themselves to the Lord,
To minister to Him, and to love the name of the Lord,
To be His servants, every one who ⁿkeeps from profaning the sabbath
And holds fast My covenant;
