Isa 28:16 don't be silent

--- *Lo Yachish [לֹא יָחִישׁ] — Don't Be Silent — The Fire Behind The Fence* Modern scholars say LXX made a typo in Isaiah 28:16. MT: *ha-ma'amin lo yachish [הַמַּאֲמִין לֹא יָחִישׁ]* — he who believes shall not make haste. LXX: *ou me kataischynthe [οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῇ]* — shall not be ashamed. So they tell us LXX confused *chet [ח]* for *bet [ב]* — read *yachish [יָחִישׁ]* as *yabosh [יֵבוֹשׁ]* — 954 *bosh [בּוֹשׁ]*. That's not hard evidence. That's hard presumption. Peter was *agrammatos [ἀγράμματος]* — unlearned — Acts 4:13 — could not read Greek well. He was not reading LXX in Alexandria. He was reading Hebrew, Targum. Yet 1 Peter 2:6 quotes "shall not be ashamed." Paul — Romans 9:33, 10:11 — same. You think Peter and Paul knew less than modern scholars? I don't. They knew letters. Look quickly at *chet-shin [ח-ש]* words — should have been obvious: *chashah [חָשָׁה - ח-ש-ה - 2814]* — to be silent — *al techsheh [אַל תֶּחֱשֶׁה]* — don't be silent — *techsheh [תֶּחֱשֶׁה]* *chashash [חָשַׁשׁ - ח-ש-ש]* — to be anxious, to worry — doubled fire inside *chet [ח - חֵית]* — fence — enclosure — to hide within — to cover *shin [שׁ - שִׁין]* — tooth — fire — consuming — pressing *heh [ה - הֵא]* — breath — to reveal — often droppable — when you drop *heh [ה]*, breath stays inside So *chashah [חָשָׁה]* — *chet [ח]* encloses *shin [שׁ]* fire with *heh [ה]* breath holding it — to keep fire covered — to be silent. What is a man who keeps fire covered inside because he will not let breath out? He is ashamed. *chashash [חָשַׁשׁ]* — *chet [ח]* encloses double *shin [שׁ-שׁ]* — fire doubled — enclosed consuming — that is exactly anxiety — *esh ochelet be-kirbo [אֵשׁ אוֹכֶלֶת בְּקִרְבּוֹ]* — fire eating inside — because you won't speak. We rarely study root meanings when *vav [ו]* is second letter. Almost always look at root without *vav [ו]*. Not to suggest *vav [ו]* is silent in meaning. But it plays out different. *chush [חוּשׁ - ח-ו-שׁ - 2363]* — to hurry — *vav [ו]* is nail — hook — to join — it nails you to the fire — you join yourself quickly — you run. Without *vav [ו]*, *chash [חש]* — fire is not nailed outward — it stays hidden — silent — ashamed. Final *heh [ה]* often dropped — thus will not be silent — in context will not be ashamed. LXX sees this, not *bosh [בּוֹשׁ]*. Context proves it — Isaiah 28:15 — rulers make lies their refuge — they hide — they are silent about truth. Isaiah 28:16 — YHWH lays true foundation — *even bochan pinnat yikrat musad musad [אֶבֶן בֹּחַן פִּנַּת יִקְרַת מוּסָד מוּסָּד]* — tested precious cornerstone. *ha-ma'amin lo yachish [הַמַּאֲמִין לֹא יָחִישׁ]* — he who believes will not need to hide fire — will not be silent — will not be ashamed. *Don't be silent is a message — Confess the Son — Profess His Name* Opposite of confession is not denial — it's silence — due to shame. Yeshua: *hos ean epaischynthe me [ὃς ἐὰν ἐπαισχυνθῇ με]* — whoever is ashamed of me — Mark 8:38 / Luke 9:26 — will be silent when he should confess. Paul connects it — Romans 10:9 — *ean homologeses en to stomati sou [ἐὰν ὁμολογήσῃς ἐν τῷ στόματί σου]* — if you confess with your mouth *kyrion Iesoun [κύριον Ἰησοῦν]* — Lord Yeshua — then Romans 10:11 quoting Isaiah 28:16 — *ou kataischynthesetai [οὐ καταισχυνθήσεται]* — shall not be ashamed. *lo yachish [לֹא יָחִישׁ]* = *lo techsheh [לֹא תֶחֱשֶׁה]* = *lo tebosheh [לֹא תֵבוֹשׁ]* — shall not hurry to hide — shall not be silent — shall not be ashamed — shall confess. Dead Sea Scrolls 1QIsa-a has *yachish [יָחִישׁ]* — not *yabosh [יֵבוֹשׁ]* — so LXX did not have different Vorlage. They understood letter meaning — enclosed fire is shame. If He is your foundation, you don't hide Him. Don't be silent.
