イザヤ書 61:1-9 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 61:9

And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people ,.... Not only the Jews will be converted as a body in the latter day, but there will be a succession of converts among them in later ages, and will be known among Christian Gentiles by their faith and love, and good works and holy conversation; and will be taken notice of and acknowledged by them as brethren, and will be famous among them for religion and godliness: all that see them shall acknowledge... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 61:1

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me "The Spirit of Jehovah is upon me" - The Septuagint, Vulgate, and St. Luke, ( Luke 4:18 ;), and a MS., and two old editions omit the word אדני Adonai , the Lord; which was probably added to the text through the superstition of the Jews, to prevent the pronunciation of the word יהוה Jehovah following. See Kennicott on the state of the printed Hebrew text, vol. i., p. 610. In most of Isaiah's prophecies there is a primary and secondary sense,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 61:3

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion "To impart gladness to the mourners of Zion" - A word necessary to the sense is certainly lost in this place, of which the ancient Versions have preserved no traces. Houbigant, by conjecture, inserts the word ששון sason , gladness, taken from the line next but one below, where it stands opposed to אבל ebel , sorrow or mourning, as the word lost here was to אבלי abeley , mourners: I follow him. - L. Beauty for ashes "A beautiful crown... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 61:4

"And they that spring from thee" - A word is lost here likewise. After ובנו ubanu , "they shall build," add ממך mimmecha , they that spring from thee. Four MSS. have it so, (two of them ancient), and one of mine has it in the margin, and it is confirmed by Isaiah 58:12 , where the sentence is the very same, this word being here added. Kimchi makes the same remark: "the word ממך mimmecha is omitted here; but is found in Isaiah 58:12 ." The desolations of many generations - ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 61:7

For your shame "Instead of your shame" - The translation of this verse, which is very confused, and probably corrupted in the Hebrew, is taken from the Syriac Version; except that the latter has not expressed the word משנה mishneh , double, in the first place. Five MSS. add the conjunction ו vau to שמחת simchath . The Syriac reads תרנו taronnu , and תירשו tirashu , in the second person, "ye shall rejoice, ye shall inherit. "And for להם lahem , to them, two MSS., (one... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 61:8

I hate robbery for burnt-offering "Who hate rapine and iniquity" - The Syriac, and Chaldee prefix the conjunction ו vau , instead of the preposition ב beth , to עולה olah , which they render iniquity or oppression; and so the Septuagint, αδικιας . The difference lies in the punctuation; בעולה beolah , in a burnt-offering בעולה beavelah , in iniquity. The letters are the same in both words. Five of De Rossi's MSS. confirm this reading. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 61:9

Their seed shall be known among the Gentiles - Both Jews and Gentiles are to make but one fold under one shepherd, Christ Jesus. But still, notwithstanding this, they may retain their peculiarity and national distinction; so that though they are known to be Christians, yet they shall appear to be converted Jews. After their conversion to Christianity this will necessarily be the case for a long time. Strange nations are not so speedily amalgamated, as to lose their peculiar cast of features,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 61:1

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me ; literally, the Spirit of the Lord Jehovah ( Adonai Jehovah ) is upon me. The Septuagint, the Vulgate, and one manuscript omit adonai. In the original announcement of "the Servant" it was stated that God had "put his Spirit upon him" ( Isaiah 42:1 ). The sanctification of our Lord's human nature by the Holy Spirit is very explicitly taught in the Gospels. The Lord hath anointed me . The "anointing" of Jesus was that sanctification of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 61:1

The coming Saviour. "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me," etc. These words are specially memorable as being those which the Saviour read in the synagogue at Nazareth. We have had it described to us "with its pillared portico of Grecian architecture, with its scats on one side for the men; on the other, behind a lattice, are seated the women, shrouded in their long veils." When the lesson from the Pentateuch was over, Jesus ascended the steps of the desk, and the chazzan , or clerk,... read more
