Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 8:16

"Bind thou up the testimony, and the law among my disciples. And I will wait for Jehovah, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. Behold I and the children whom Jehovah hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Jehovah of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Zion.""Bind thou up the testimony ..." The meaning here is that Isaiah will interrupt his public ministry for awhile. It is already too late to replace the schemes of Ahaz with a return to the Lord... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 8:16

Isaiah 8:16. Bind up the testimony— Engrave the testimony, seal up the law in my disciples. There seems no doubt that the person here introduced speaking is God the Father, in whose will the Messiah immediately after professeth his acquiescence. The testimony and law, mean the doctrine and the law of the Messiah, at which many should be offended; and the words are frequently used in the prophets and the sacred writers for the doctrine of Christ. The engraving or sealing of this in men, is that... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 8:16

16. Bind up . . . seal—What Isaiah had before briefly noted by inscribing Maher-shalal-hash-baz in a tablet, fixed up in some public place, he afterwards wrote out more in detail in a parchment roll ( :-); this he is now to seal up, not merely in order that nothing may be added to, or taken from it, as being complete, but to imply that it relates to distant events, and is therefore to be a sealed and not understood testimony (Isaiah 6:9; Isaiah 6:10), except in part among God's "disciples,"... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 8:16

Isaiah’s audience needed to return to God’s revelation and recommit themselves to it, which the prophet led the way in doing (cf. Joshua 24:14-15). Those who followed his lead became his disciples and disciples of the Lord."Once his [Isaiah’s] message had been rejected by the court (Isaiah 7:1-17) and the people (Isaiah 8:1-8), he turned to his disciples (Isaiah 8:16-18), thus preparing the way for the judgment that God had already pronounced (Isaiah 6:11-13)." Jesus did the same thing (cf.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 8:16

(16) Bind up the testimony . . .—The intensity of feeling in which the prophetic utterance of Isaiah 8:11-15 had its birth, is followed by a corresponding solemnity at its close. The words which had been so full of meaning for the prophet himself are to be impressed on the disciples of Jehovah (for it is He who speaks), i.e., on those who looked to Isaiah as their guide and counsellor. They are to be written on a parchment roll, as men wrote the sacred Book of the Law; the roll is to be sealed... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 8:1-22

CHAPTER VIKING AND MESSIAH; PEOPLE AND CHURCH735-732 B.C.Isaiah 7, 8, 9:1-8THIS section of the book of Isaiah (chapters 7-9:7) consists of a number of separate prophecies uttered during a period of at least three years: 735-732 B.C. By 735 Ahaz had ascended the throne; Tiglath-pileser had been occupied in the far east for two years. Taking advantage of the weakness of the former and the distance of the later, Rezin, king of Damascus, and Pekah, king of Samaria, planned an invasion of Judah. It... read more
