53:1</a>, the original Hebrew text uses the divine name only once, in the expression “the arm of Jehovah.” John, however, apparently quotes from the <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070680/26/0"><em>Septuagint</em></a> translation of Isaiah’s prophecy, where the Greek text begins with the form of the word <em>Kyʹri·os</em> (Lord) used for direct address. (See <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070680/54/0" data-bid="55-1" class="b">Ro 10:16</a>, where <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070680/55/0" data-bid="56-1" class="b">Isa 53:1</a> is also quoted.) The translators may have inserted the divine name in this first occurrence in order to clarify to the reader that the prophet addresses his questions to God. As previously noted, <em>Kyʹri·os</em> in later copies of the <em>Septuagint</em> is often used as a substitute for the <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070680/27/0">Tetragrammaton</a> in the original Hebrew text (as is the case in the second occurrence of <em>Kyʹri·os</em> in this quote). Therefore, the divine name has here been used in the main text. A number of translations of the <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070680/28/0">Christian Greek Scriptures</a> into Hebrew (referred to as J<sup>12, 14, 16-18, 22, 23</sup> in <a class="it" href="/en/wol/tc/r1/lp-e/1001070680/4">App. C4</a>) use the divine name at its first occurrence at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070680/56/0" data-bid="57-1" class="b">Joh 12:38</a>.</p> <p id="p53" data-pid="53" class="s5"><strong>arm of Jehovah:</strong> In this quote from <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070680/57/0" data-bid="58-1" class="b">Isa 53:1</a>, the divine name, represented by four Hebrew consonants (transliterated <em>YHWH</em>), occurs once in the original Hebrew text. (See study note on the first occurrence of <strong>Jehovah</strong> in this verse and <a class="it" href="/en/wol/tc/r1/lp-e/1001070680/5">App. A5</a> and <a class="it" href="/en/wol/tc/r1/lp-e/1001070680/6">C</a>.) The Hebrew and Greek terms for <strong>arm</strong> are often used figuratively in the Bible to represent the ability to exert strength or power. Through the signs and miracles that Jesus performed, Jehovah revealed His “arm,” His might and ability to exercise power.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group footnote"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Footnotes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item footnote" data-extract-id="verseFootnote-26"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">*</span></span><span class="scalableui"><p id="p180" data-pid="180">Or “in our report (message)?”</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/43/12/490" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-491"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Ro 10:16</span></span></div><div class="content"><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-491" class="loading hidden"><span class="icon"></span></div><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-491" class="extract"></div></div></li><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/43/12/491" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-492"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Isa 53:1</span></span></div><div class="content"><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-492" class="loading hidden"><span class="icon"></span></div><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-492" class="extract"></div></div></li></ul></div><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Indexes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item ref-rsg" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Research Guide</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p1171" data-pid="1171" class="se"></p> <p id="p1172" data-pid="1172" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204433/1205/0"><em>Insight,</em> Volume 1<em>,</em> p. 168</a></p> <div id="p1173" data-pid="1173"><p data-pid="1173" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204433/1206/0"><em>The Watchtower,</em></a></p><p data-pid="1173" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204433/1206/0">8/15/2011, p. 11</a></p><p data-pid="1173" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204433/1207/0">10/1/2008, p. 5</a></p> </div><p id="p1174" data-pid="1174" class="se"></p> </span></li><li class="item ref-dx" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Publications Index</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p356" data-pid="356" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270043/354/0">it-1 168;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270043/354/2"> w11 8/15 11;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270043/354/4"> w08 10/1 5;</a></p> <p id="p357" data-pid="357" class="sx"></p> <p id="p384" data-pid="384" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020043/382/0">w72 174;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020043/382/2"> ad 123</a></p> <p id="p385" data-pid="385" class="sx"></p> </span></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" data-key="43-12-40" data-section-citation="043012040043012040"><h3 class="title"><span class="scalableui">John 12:40</span></h3><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/43/12/492" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-493"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Isa 6:10;
