Isaiah 13:21
Posted: February 11th, 2019, 10:36 am
καὶ ἀναπαύσονται ἐκεῖ θηρία καὶ ἐμπλησθήσονται αἱ οἰκίαι ἤχου καὶ ἀναπαύσονται ἐκεῖ σειρῆνες καὶ δαιμόνια ἐκεῖ ὀρχήσονται
Ostriches are ruled out here, they are not associated with wailing or weeping and they are called חסידה in ancient Hebrew and a Sparrow is a צפור, so it is plausible it's the nightingale "ἀηδονίς"
I am not sure if the first word is the bird or its eggs. ציים/ὤεον
"The eggs shall sit there and the nightingales shall fill their houses with mourning"
The word וּשְׂעִירִים translates δαιμονία or σάτυροι but can also be a verb such as δακρύων "weep, shed tears" .
The following verse mentions δελφῖν "Dolphins" confirmed in Lamentations 4:3 that reads "sea monsters draw out the breasts", the reading here is δράκοντες, a cognate of δελφῖν and Isaiah 13:21 uses the unknown word אֹחִים but can translate ἀδελφόν "brothers" hence a possible misreading of δελφῖνας " dolphins". The animal in Jonah 1:17 was also a dolphin אליונה בןאמתי/Ἀρίονα Μηθυμναῖον (Hdt. 1.24)
The Book of Isaiah is written as a lamentation so animals associating with weeping prop up and
i also noticed the Hebrew verbs in 13:21 are Imperfect passive verbs in the 2nd person and for some reason the Septuagint verbs are 3rd person future plurals, why the change of tense>
The previous verse reads " Arabian pitch tent there" but also "ravens pitch tent there" and can even read "Corinthians pitch tent there" ( Κορίνθου, κόρακα or κόρεις).
