27 וִיהֵי בְעִידָנָא
הַהוּא תִעדֵי מַחְתֵיה מִינָך וְנִירֵיה מְעַל צַורָך וְיִתַברוּן עַמְמַיָא מִן קֳדָם
מְשִיחָא׃ (Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon, Targum Jonathan to the
Prophets [Hebrew Union College, 2005], Logos ed.)
Translation of above:
And it shall come to pass in that time, your plow shall
pass away from you, and the yoke shall be lifted from your neck, and the
nations shall be shattered before the Messiah.
10.27 And it will come to pass in that time that
his stroke will pass from you, and his yoke from your neck, and
the Gentiles will be shattered before the Messiah. (Bruce D. Chilton, The
Isaiah Targum: Introduction, Translation, Apparatus and Notes [The Aramaic
Bible 11; Wilmington, Del.: Michael Glazier, Inc., 1987], 27)
And it shall come to pass at that time, *that* his
dominion shall depart from you, and his yoke from thy neck, and the nations
shall be broken from before the Messiah. (The Chaldee Paraphrase of the
Prophet Isaiah [trans. C. W. H. Pauli; London: London Society's House,
1871], 37)
Rashi (d. 1105) on Isa 20:27:
and the yoke shall be destroyed The
yoke of Sennacherib shall be destroyed because of Hezekiah, who was mild to his
generation, as oil. Our Rabbis, however, explained [that Sennacherib’s yoke
would be destroyed] because of Hezekiah’s oil which burnt in the synagogues and
in the study-halls, for he persuaded them to engage in Torah, after the matter
that is written (Proverbs 25: 1): “Which the men of Hezekiah strengthened.” (source)
Radak (David Kimhi)
(1160-1235) on Isa 20:27:
. . . ויתברון עממיא מן קדם משיחא פירוש חזקיהו שנמשח בשמן המשחה ואע"פ שלא נמשח כי אין
מושחין מלך בן מלך ראוי היה להמשח אלא שלא היה צריך, ובדרש מפני שמנו של חזקיהו שהיה
מדליק בבתי כנסיות ובבתי מדרשות:
"And the nations will be broken before the Messiah."
This refers to Hezekiah, who was anointed with the anointing oil. And although
he was not literally anointed—because the custom is not to anoint a king who is
the son of a king—he was worthy of being anointed but did not require it.
And in the Midrash: "It was due to the oil of
Hezekiah, as he would light lamps in synagogues and study halls." (source)
