イザヤ書 66:14-24 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 66:22

For as the new heavens, and the new earth, which I will make ,.... Not "have made"; for this is not to be understood of the heavens and the earth made new in the beginning, and which continue so without any change or alteration; though sometimes the perpetuity of the church, which is here predicted, is set forth by the duration of those, Psalm 89:36 but either of the new state of things under the Gospel dispensation, which still continues, promised Isaiah 65:15 , or rather, since that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 66:23

And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another ,.... Or, "from month in its months" F17 מדי חודש בחדשו "a tempore mensis in mense ejus"; Montanus; "de mense in mensem suum", Forerius. , The Targum is, "in the time of the beginning of the "month in its month";' that is, in every day of the month; or rather every month: and from one sabbath to another ; the form of expressions the same as before; and in like manner paraphrased in the Targum; and signifies... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 66:24

And they shall go forth ,.... That is, those constant and spiritual worshippers shall go forth from the holy mountain Jerusalem, the church of God, whither they are brought as an offering to the Lord, and where they worship him; for this is not to be understood of going out of Jerusalem literally, as Aben Ezra and Kimchi; or of their going out of their graves after the resurrection, as others; but either out of the Christian assemblies, or out of the houses of the saints, and the beloved... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 66:15

The Lord will come with fire "Jehovah shall come as a fire" - For באש baesh , in fire, the Septuagint had in their copy קאש kaesh , as a fire; ὡς πυρ . To render his anger with fury "To breathe forth his anger in a burning heat" - Instead of להשב lehashib , as pointed by the Masoretes, to render, I understand it as להשב lehashshib , to breathe, from נשב nashab . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 66:17

Behind one tree "After the rites of Achad" - The Syrians worshipped a god called Adad, Plin. Nat. Hist. 37:11; Macrob. Sat. 1:23. They held him to be the highest and greatest of the gods, and to be the same with Jupiter and the sun; and the name Adad, says Macrobius, signifies one; as likewise does the word Achad in Isaiah. Many learned men therefore have supposed, and with some probability, that the prophet means the same pretended deity. אחד achad , in the Syrian and Chaldean dialects,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 66:18

For I know their works - A word is here lost out of the present text, leaving the text quite imperfect. The word is יודע yodea , knowing, supplied from the Syriac. The Chaldee had the same word in the copy before him, which he paraphrases by גלן קדמי kedemi gelon , their deeds are manifest before me; and the Aldine and Complutensian editions of the Septuagint acknowledge the same word επισταμαι , which is verified by MS. Pachom. and the Arabic version. I think there can be little... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 66:19

That draw the bow - I much suspect that the words קשת משכי moshechey kesheth , who draw the bow, are a corruption of the word משך meshek , Moschi, the name of a nation situated between the Euxine and Caspian seas; and properly joined with תבל tubal , the Tibareni. See Bochart, Phaleg. Isaiah 3:12 . The Septuagint have μοσοχ , without any thing of the drawers of the bow: the word being once taken for a participle, the bow was added to make sense of it קשת kesheth , the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 66:20

And in chariots "And in counes" - There is a sort of vehicle much used in the east, consisting of a pair of hampers or cradles, thrown across a camel's back, one on each side; in each of which a person is carried. They have a covering to defend them from the rain and the sun. Thevenot calls them counes , 1 p. 356. Maillet describes them as covered cages hanging on both sides of a camel. "At Aleppo," says Dr. Russell, "women of inferior condition in longer journeys are commonly stowed, one... read more

And for Levites - For ללוים laleviyim , fifty-nine MSS., (eight ancient), have וללוים velaleviyim , adding the conjunction ו vau , which the sense seems necessarily to require: and so read all the ancient versions. See Joshua 3:3 , and the various readings on that place in Kennicott's Bible. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 66:24

For their worm shall not die - These words of the prophet are applied by our blessed Savior, Mark 9:44 , to express the everlasting punishment of the wicked in Gehenna, or in hell. Gehenna, or the valley of Hinnom, was very near to Jerusalem to the south-east: it was the place where the idolatrous Jews celebrated that horrible rite of making their children pass through the fire, that is, of burning them in sacrifice to Moloch. To put a stop to this abominable practice, Josiah defiled, or... read more
