Guiding Questions: Isaiah 27

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

What is “that day” mentioned in Isaiah 27:1?
What purpose is there in mind in referring to “livyatan” in Isaiah 27:1 and why is the term wedded to”nahash”?
Does Isaiah 27:6 project a halcyonic time and, if so, who will particularly benefit from it?
According to Isaiah 27:9, what need be done in order to provide atonement for “Jacob”?
Does Isaiah 27:11 voice optimism that “Jacob” will do what should be done or that, indeed, destruction isimminent?
Does the final refrain of the chapter (Isaiah 27:13) voice optimism, destruction or fulfillment of the mostoptimistic hope?
