Question about the Book of Isaiah
Question
Chapter 49, verse 12:
“Behold, these shall come from afar; and behold, these from the north and from the sea; and these from the land of Sinim.”
“The land of Sinim” — does this mean the Babylonian god Sin? In other words, will they return from the Babylonian exile?
Answer

In Genesis 10:17, Sin appears as one of the sons of Canaan.
