Exegesis
The verse begins with the relative participle has-sholeach {הַשֹּׁלֵחַ | haš-šō-lē-aḥ} ‘sending’, which heads a relative clause modifying the land motif in verse 1.
In context — Isaiah 18:2
Which sends envoys by sea and in vessels of papyrus upon the surface of the waters, saying, “Go, swift messengers, to a nation drawn out and peeled, to a people awesome from its beginning onwards, a nation measured line by line and trampled, whose land the rivers divide.”
