Isaiah's Exposed, Is It Exposed?
The word gala means exposed, in this case to danger and exposed. In chapter 20, you'll actually use the imagery of nakedness. Why is it translated exile? Afit? I mean, it would make just as much sense to say, therefore my people are exposed, yes. It's a paraphrase. But because what isaiah is predicting is that the city will be conquered, they'll be hauled off into captivity. This is where the modern idea of a catastrophic event and undoing occurs.
