NRSVueS Isaiah 58:5 "you" tagging error
Isaiah 58:5 (NRSVue)
Is such the fast that I choose,
a day to humble oneself?
Is it to bow down the head like a bulrush
and to lie in sackcloth and ashes?
Will you call this a fast,
a day acceptable to the LORD?
The “you” in bold above is keyed/tagged for נַפְשׁ֑וֹ in the BHS. this is clearly incorrect, as נַפְשׁ֑וֹ appears in a completely different phrase. Together with אָדָ֖ם it is translated as “oneself” in the NRSVue and NRSV. “oneself' is not tagged in either of these two translations, but at least the NRSVS doesn't key ”you" incorrectly.
