Go and buy food without silver and at no cost, wine and milk.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The water, food, milk, and wine are all metaphorical. What the metaphors suggest is that God\u2019s beneficence to His people will be unstinting and freely given with no price exacted for it. The Hebrew <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kesef<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is translated as \u201csilver,\u201d not \u201cmoney\u201d as in other versions, because coins were not yet in general usage, and the use of the verb \u201cweigh out\u201d for \u201csilver\u201d in the next verse clearly indicates that what is imagined is silver weights. There is some question about the relation of this chapter to the fifteen preceding chapters of Second Isaiah. Joseph Blenkinsopp thinks that it is by a different hand and that it is intended as a bridge to the rest of the book, which, at least according to scholarly consensus, is the work of still another prophet. The evidence, however, is somewhat tenuous: the supposed stylistic difference of this chapter from the earlier ones are by no means clear-cut, and the claimed affinities with the Book of Proverbs are debatable.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From: Robert Alter, <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hebrew Bible<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, vol. 2: Prophets, W.
