• And to what had they turned? The rest of the verse reveals it, though the translation is rather obscure. In Darby’s New Translation we find “Gad” substituted for “that troop”, and “Meni” for “that number”, with footnotes giving an explanation to the effect that the former word indicates “Fortune, or the planet Jupiter”, and the latter word “Number, or Fate, or the planet Venus”. (“Isaiah 65” by F.B. Hole)
• If things went well it was Fortune. If badly, it was Fate. In the minds of the people these were deities to whom they made offerings of food and drink. (“Isaiah 65” by F.B. Hole)
