 [[Elamites]] were considered the offspring of Elam son of [[Shem]] (Genesis 10:22, Ezra 4:9).  They could be considerded Semites, but their language was not considered semetic.  According to [http://www.eastons-bible-dictionary.com/eastons/bible-study.htm Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)] they lived in the Iranian plain.  Babylonia was frequently invaded by the Elamite kings, who at times asserted their supremacy over it (as in the case of Chedorlaomer, the Kudur-Lagamar, or ‘servant of the goddess Lagamar,’ of the cuneiform texts).

 “The later Assyrian monarchs made several campaigns against Elam, and finally Assur-bani-pal (about B.C. 650) succeeded in conquering the country, which was ravaged with fire and sword. On the fall of the Assyrian Empire, Elam passed into the hands of the Persians” (A.H. Sayce).
 This country was called by the Greeks Cissia or Susiana.

 An excellent resource on the web is the [http://www.blueletterbible.org/ Blue Letter Bible].  It contains 13 different translations, and you can compare any verse to any of the 13 translations, including the Latin Vulgate (helpful if you can read Latin.)  If you would like to go directly to the beginning of this lesson, here is a sample of [http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/versions.pl?book=Isa&chapter=20&verse=1&version=KJV#1 Isaiah 20:1] with its various translations.  Some may find the NLT version one of the easiest versions to understand, but feel free to browse the different translations to see if you prefer another version.]

 There are a few ways to approach this lesson.  In this lesson, the church manual has a big emphasis on scriptures that relate specifically to the prophecies, life, and ministry of Jesus Christ.  There are many scriptures in Isaiah relating to this topic, and certainly this is an excellent way to show that Isaiah spoke frequently about the coming [[Messiah]].
-If you would like a historical background, be sure to refer to [[Lesson 36]] and [[Isaiah]] to understand what is going on in the days of Isaiah.  Many people, both in and outside the church find the words of Isaiah difficult to understand, and there is another way to approach these chapters.  Many have found that other translations have been helpful, and the prophet Joseph Smith was known to consult other translations of the bible to help in understanding.
+For a historical background, refer to [[Lesson 36]] and [[Isaiah]] to understand what is going on in the days of Isaiah.  Many people, both in and outside the church find the words of Isaiah difficult to understand, and there is another way to approach these chapters.  Many have found that other translations have been helpful, and the prophet Joseph Smith was known to consult other translations of the bible to help in understanding.
 In ''Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith'', on page 349 he said ''I have an old edition of the [[New Testament]] in Latin, Hebrew, German, and Greek languages.  I have been reading the German, and find it to be the most (nearly) correct translation, and to correspond nearest to the revelations which God has given to me for the last fourteen years.''
-Most of us can't read German, or any other foreign language.  Some may find other easier to read editions of the english bible helpful in understanding.  In the links below, there is an excellent book by David J. Ridges, a religion teacher at [[BYU]], on the Old Testament.  He also wrote a book specifically on Isaiah.  Both books contain essentially the same information with regards to Old Testament [[Isaiah]].  As for more up to date language, the book by Brother Ridges is a great resource for understanding Isaiah's writings in the same narrative way as the book is written, as opposed to the church manual's way of only pulling scriptures out that relate to the divinity of [[Jesus Christ]].
