NJV: The exiles of this army, the sons of Israel, will have the Canaanites’ land as far as Zarephath, while the exiles from Jerusalem now in Sepharad will have the cities of the Negeb.

the captives of this host, the sons of Israel = kaidir ī xapūr, xaddar Gaŋg’alas
kaidir = prisoners
xapūr = military
xaddar = sons
Gaŋg’alas = Israel
Israel comes from the Hebrew yisrawale (ישראל) God strives, and has two components:
1. sawraw (שרה) = persist, exert oneself, persevere.
2. el (אל) = god.
Scholars dispute the exact identity of the Hebrew El.
As far as I can tell, El is the name of the god worshipped by Abram before God chooses him to become Father of Nations. Abram followed God before he knew about God. He was among a small number of Pre-Christian figures who managed to reach God purely through Natural Revelation (i.e. nature/the World) without the aid of Divine Revelation (i.e. the Old Testament).
Whether through or in spite of his worship of El, Abram lived a sufficiently godly life that the Creator chose him. Consider how this looked. For a time, El must have been expanding before it became clear that this was a greater force behind and surrounding El and all other gods that he knew.
How did I create Gaŋg’alas? Three components go into it:
1. geŋg’a = ask for persistently.
2. la = El.
3. -s = Masculine Suffix.
Other than simple Vowel Harmony, why does geŋg’a become gaŋg’a?
Gaŋgā is where we get the name Ganges from.
Mother Ganges has one of the largest floodplains in the world. Have you ever wondered how India can boast over a billion people?
If God sent a vision to an Indian before the Resurrection, how would he show His power?
By showing Himself greater and more powerful than Mother Ganges, the one Husband great enough to make her His dutiful helpmeet.
(they will have) the Canaanites’ land as far as Zarephath = (ār gahi bile) Saɳɖad Kuʈʈhīgūʈī ra’ō
ār gahi = of them
bile = under possession
Saɳɖad = Canaanites’ Land
Kuʈʈhīgūʈī = up to Zarephath
ra’ō = it will be
Canaan comes from the Hebrew kawnah (כנע) be humble.
Saɳɖad Canaan is the land of Saɳɖas Canaan. Saɳɖas has two components:
1. sanni = be humble.
2. -das = son.
Canaan was the grandson of Noah through his son Ham.
Zarephath comes from the Hebrew tsawraf (צרף) smelt, refine, test.
In Hebrew tsarefath (צרפת) means smelting place.
Kuʈʈhīgūʈī has two components:
1. Kuʈʈhid = Zarephath.
2. -gūʈī = up until.
Kuʈʈhid is my translation for Zarephath.
This comes from kuʈʈhī warehouse, grain closet, blacksmith’s furnace.
who are in Sepharad = Sōp’arad nū ra’ā
Sōp’arad = Sepharad
nū = in
ra’ā = who are
Sefawrawd (ספרד) was a region in Assyria, where a number of the exiled Jews live.
I built Sōp’arad from several components:
1. sōp’ā = deliver up into the hands/entrust.
2. sōbh’ā = be good looking/be beautiful.
3. sōrad bōrad = dirty/excessively dirty.
sōrad bōrad is an Echo Adverb.
As punishment for their sins, God delivered the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah into the hands of the Assyrians. Some Jews looked back to the days of their independence, and saw beauty. Other Jews looked forward for the day God would save them, and saw beauty.
Another group of Jews abandoned the whole project of being God’s chosen people entirely, and saw beauty in becoming an assimilated Assyrian.
Together, these three voices, and others, carried across the desert, took up residence in the burned cities and ruined tows, where they echoed and continue to echo down the centuries.
In Modern Hebrew, Sepharad is the name for Iberia (i.e. Spain and Portugal).
and the captives from Jerusalem shall possess the cities of the Negev = kaidir Neō Gaɖigaɖid gahi bile sahar Dakhne ra’ō
kaidir = prisoners
Neō Gaɖigaɖid = (of) Jerusalem
gahi = of (theirs)
bile = under control
sahar = city
Dakhne = south/Negev
ra’ō = it will be
Jerusalem comes from Hebrew yerooshawlayim (ירושלם) foundation of peace.
Neō Gaɖigaɖid has four components:
1. neō = solid ground on which to build walls.
…
2. gaɖɖī = deep/profound/low in pitch.
3. gaɖɖī = [same as above].
4. -d = Non-Masculine Suffix.
Jerusalem calls out to her lost children. Her cries carry along the ground, an earthquake in the mind. They echo along the bones. When you stop to give for a breath, the stillness of the ground makes you unsteady on your feet.
KJV: And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
