George:

I don’t have your translation before me, but I noticed that you translated 
NBR)W as an active verb, while the form is clearly Niphal.

Starting from the second half of verse 6, “I cause you to hear new (things) 
that were not before, (things that were) guarded up that you should not 
know them. And now they are created and not from before and before (this) 
day, that you should hear of them, lest you should say ‘Behold I know 
them.’” (as taken from the text for MacSword project, Aleppo text for Linux 
and Mac).

Karl W. Randolph.
