# Isaiah 27 General Notes #
|
|
|
|
#### Structure and formatting ####
|
|
|
|
Some translations prefer to set apart extended quotations, prayers or songs. The ULB and many other English translations indent the lines of chapter 27, which is an important quotation.

#### Special concepts in this chapter ####
|
|
|
|
##### Leviathan #####
|
|
This was an ancient type of dragon or serpent. It is possible that this is a reference to Satan, who is also described as a serpent and a dragon. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/satan]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

#### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter ####

|
|
|
##### "That day" #####
|
|
This is a common phrase in this section of Isaiah. This chapter appears to prophesy about a time of restoration when the messiah will reign. This chapter pictures a time of great peace and harmony in the world. The translator should not add explanation, but should try to maintain the tense of the original text, as a future or uncompleted action. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/restore]], [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet]], [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/christ]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/fulfill]])
