(Isaiah 46:8-12, YLT) ## Setting - **Speaker:** Isaiah son of Amoz (traditional unity) + LORD direct discourse - **Audience:** Judah under Uzziah/Jotham/Ahaz/Hezekiah + exilic remnant - **Location:** Jerusalem and Judah - **Time period:** ministry c. 740-680 BC ## Theological reading ## Key words - [H6213 - asah](/codex/h6213-asah/), *asah* (Strong's H6213). Also appears in: [Genesis 1.14-19](/codex/genesis-1-14-19/), [Genesis 1.24-28](/codex/genesis-1-24-28/), [Genesis 1.26](/codex/genesis-1-26/). - [H7225 - reshit](/codex/h7225-reshit/), *reshit* (Strong's H7225). Also appears in: [Genesis 1.1](/codex/genesis-1-1/), [Deuteronomy 21](/codex/deuteronomy-21/), [1 Samuel 15](/codex/1-samuel-15/). ## Why these four translations ris3n chose ASV, WEB, KJV, and YLT for two reasons together. They are the **most literal English translations available** (formal-equivalence: word-for-word renderings that preserve the Hebrew and Greek grammar rather than smoothing it into modern dynamic-equivalence idiom). And they are in the **public domain in the United States**, which means fair-use quotation at any length requires no publisher license. Modern licensed translations (NASB95, ESV, NIV) restrict volume of quotation under their copyright terms, so they are not used at stub-level coverage here. NASB95 appears only on hand-curated rich passage hubs under Lockman Foundation's fair-use allowance. The four: - **[ASV](/codex/asv/)** (American Standard Version, 1901). The basis of the modern critical-text English tradition. - **[WEB](/codex/web/)** (World English Bible, contemporary). Public-domain revision in the ASV line, in current English. - **[KJV](/codex/kjv/)** (King James Version, 1611). Reformation-era, Textus Receptus base. - **[YLT](/codex/ylt/)** (Young's Literal Translation, Robert Young, 1862). Hyper-literal preservation of Hebrew and Greek grammar; useful for word-study work even where English reads stiff.
