    BRIEFCOMMUNICATIONS 167
    quiet - Ar. s4•kata, subside, fall. The unassimilatedt is pre-
    served by Heb. pntW,be still, quiet, and Ar. sakita, be miserable.
    There can be no doubt that iskut, isdkut means be silent in
    Assyrian (sakatu is contrasted with kalu, ik~il, shout) but the
    correct spelling is gakitu - Aram. Ji*1. In Assyrian9 before
    k or k frequently becomes s, so we have gaktpu and sakapu,
    gakanu and sakanu, a~kubitu,hump, and askubitu, gikkatu>
    sikkatu (cf. Haupt, ZDMG, LXIV, 711), etc.
    In view, therefore, of the complete lack of support for the
    reading 'DD71T, I would suggest the emendation be
    gathered together= 11k$7. Be gathered togetherand hear is
    MD=_.i,
    a much more dignifiedpreambleto a speech than Be quietand
    hear. For the hitpa del cf. Aram. gather together,

    zald-ku,
    and Ar. tazallaka,be brilliant. Heb. S1 is then an Aramaism,
    from
    borrowed Aram.

    Aramaisms are not necessarily proof of post-exilic date, as

    side of 'M1is certainlyvery early. --)
    Heb. tWl, drive, so far without an etymology, is a trans-
    position of ~gr= Ar. sagara, stir up (fire),spout (water),Aram.
    Jegdr, heat, send, throw (= Heb. 1w=), the basic meaning being
    stir. Ar. zdaara, drive away, repulse, which might be partial
    assimilation for our stem, seems to be identical with Aram.
    zegar, restrain, compel, partial assimilation for segar = Heb.
    'UD, confine, close.
    Heb. fMV, forget, also withoutan etymology, seems to be a
    transpositionof 7WIt,be dark; cf. also Ar. k'ag~a for *kahasa,

    ymous with be dark, dull, so rememberis be sharp, bright,

    For the transposition cf. the series khl-hkl-hlk-klh,be dark

    On the Textual Crux in Isa. 48 8.


    The word has been interpreted in a great variety
    of ways, goingk-IVIJ7l.
    back to the thirteenthcentury,when DavidKimhi
    derived it from VsI and his father Joseph from Vt. Neither
    derivationis probable, nor does either accord with the context.
    From the stem Vt man we should have in Hithpoel the sense
    "showyourselves courageous",which is just what the prophet
    does not wish to say to these rebels, who already have the
    courage of their evil convictions. No one can tell how the stem
    V fire could yield the form in the text, while as to the sense,
    both those who see in it the red flush of shame, and those who
    conceive it to denote a flaming zeal for the glory of God have
    to lug in the chief matter in question. A third and numerous
    group of authorities assume a stem kindred with Arabic
    assa II, to stamp strongly (said ofV_$I horses). They separate
    again in their interpretations: "become strong", "stand fast",
    "strengthenyour faith", "obtain well-groundedinsights",all of
    which are manifestly contrary to the trend of the phrophet's
    exhortation. To obviate this objection, the word has been
    rendered "give up", from to be desperate, which however
    could hardly produce Vt_•

    The next resort is to alter the text. Lagarde proposed and
    Cheyne at first accepted.100171 be ashamed of yourselves,to
