Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

The gold bar shows how strongly the cross-reference sources tie the two verses together: a long bar means many compiled references make the connection, a short one means few.

Isaiah 1:1This is the vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.Isaiah 22:15This is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “Go, say to Shebna, the steward in charge of the palace:Isaiah 2:1This is the message that was revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem:2 Kings 12:10Whenever they saw that there was a large amount of money in the chest, the royal scribe and the high priest would go up, count the money brought into the house of the LORD, and tie it up in bags.Luke 3:4as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.Matthew 4:14to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:2 Kings 18:18Then they called for the king; and Eliakim son of Hilkiah the palace administrator, Shebnah the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder, went out to them.Isaiah 37:2–5And he sent Eliakim the palace administrator, Shebna the scribe, and the leading priests, all wearing sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz 2 Kings 22:13–14“Go and inquire of the LORD for me, for the people, and for all Judah concerning the words in this book that has been found.

Evidence1

What the record shows

Isaiah the prophet — attested in contemporary inscriptionwell-supported
Ophel bulla reading 'Yesha'yah[u] nvy[...]' (E. Mazar 2018)
Biblical figure (Prophet, late 8th c. BC) identified in extra-biblical epigraphy.
Counterpoint: The bulla is chipped right where it matters. Christopher Rollston points out that no aleph is legible, so the word after the name may not be "prophet" at all but a personal name or a place name, and that the expected Hebrew article â€” "the prophet" â€” is missing. Eilat Mazar published the prophet reading as a possibility rather than a settled fact.
