Guiding Questions: Isaiah 32

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

The king who is referenced in Isaiah 32:1 is Hizkiyahu. Does the prophet take a positive view?
With the anticipated development, will the “leadership” in Jerusalem be improved or remain what it was (see Isaiah 32:5-6)?
What is the meaning of the word “nedivot” which appears twice in Isaiah 32:8?
Isaiah 32 addresses the women in Israel. Why the shift at this point?
Would Isaiah 32:12, dealing with fecundity, be deliberately positioned in the charge to the women?
What is the “fundamental call” of the prophet as reflected in Isaiah 32:16-17?
Do these verses call for “love” or for justice?
In Isaiah 32:20, who are those who cast “their bread” on the waters?
Does the reference to the “foot of the ox and of the donkey” imply prosperity?
