Interesting imagery I had never noticed in #Isaiah9 til today & in doing some initial research cant find #BibleCommentaries that address it all. Curious what other #theology or #Bible thinkers think. In verse 4 we have the image of the Yoke of oppression being broken from the shoulders, then in contrast verse 6 The Government is on the shoulder. The imagery of going from oppression to supremacy on the same shoulders is beautiful. Is there more to this imagery or is it just a beautiful picture?

What books can we turn to for a religious, yet non-fundamentalist, Jewish Bible commentary?

The authors here draw from classical Jewish sources including the Mishnah, Talmud, Midrash, and Meforshim (classical Bible commentators)
and also from modern day rabbis who are knowledgeable about historical, archaeological, and comparative textual studies.
