and show yourselves firm, be strong (uncertain Hithpael form)
A textually uncertain Hithpael imperative in Isaiah 46:8, where God calls transgressors to 'show yourselves firm' or 'act like men.' BDB notes multiple interpretations: the Targum, Jerome, and others derive it from a root meaning 'establish,' while Lagarde and Cheyne suggest reading from בּוֹשׁ (be ashamed) instead. Thesaurus even proposes denominative from אִישׁ (man). The multilingual evidence shows significant variation, with some bracketing it as uncertain.

1. sense 1 — Imperative calling for firmness or resolve, possibly urging idolaters to strengthen themselves for confrontation with divine reality. Isaiah 46:8's context involves God challenging Israel to remember their rebellion and His uniqueness. The Spanish afianzaos (make yourselves firm) and English be-firm support the establishment reading. However, textual uncertainty and diverse conjectures show this rare Hithpael defied easy understanding even in ancient translations, leaving the precise nuance debated. 1×
