Footnote

a At Isaiah 1:18, where the Hebrew word corresponding to e·lengʹkho is used, Jehovah says to Israel: “‘Come, now, you people, and let us set matters straight [“let us talk this over,” Jerusalem Bible; “let us argue it out,” New English Bible] between us,’ says Jehovah. ‘Though the sins of you people should prove to be as scarlet, they will be made white just like snow.’”
