Isaiah 60:7 NIV

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 60:7

All the flocks of Kedar - On the word ‘Kedar,’ see the notes at Isaiah 21:16. The Kedarenians were a wandering tribe that frequently changed their residence, though it is probable they usually dwelt in the south part of Arabia Deserta, or the north of Arabia Petraea. They are mentioned as dwelling in beautiful tents Song of Solomon 1:5 : ‘I am black, but comely as the tents of Kedar,’ see Psalms 120:5; compare Isaiah 21:16-17; Isaiah 42:11. The language here also means that that which... read more

Isaiah 60:6-7. The multitude of camels The treasure that is brought upon camels. By these, and such like figurative expressions in several verses of this chapter, is implied the coming in of all nations to Christ, and therefore they are brought in as presenting the chief commodities of their respective countries. The dromedaries Or, also, or, even the dromedaries; which are a sort of lesser camel, so called from their swiftness in running. For it is said by the Arabs that they will... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:1-22

A glorious kingdom (60:1-22)In Chapters 60-62 the scene returns to Babylon, where the captive Israelites look forward to the return to their homeland and the reconstruction of their national life. Here, more than in the previous chapters, the blessings seem to go far beyond those experienced by post-exilic Israel. (See sub-section ‘New Jerusalem’ at the introduction to Chapters 40-66.)When sin is removed and enemies are punished, Israel will receive the glory it has always hoped for. Not only... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 60:7

Isaiah saw other nations, ancient enemies of Israel, bring offerings typical of their way of life. Evidently there will be a literal temple and altar in Zion then (cf. Ezekiel 40-43). The sacrifices offered there will be for thanksgiving to God. God will glorify the millennial temple as the focal point of worship at this time. Isaiah’s vision of the future Jerusalem included a temple and altar (cf. Isaiah 60:13), but John’s vision of the future Jerusalem excluded both (Revelation 21:22). The... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 60:7

(7) Kedar.—The nomad tribes (Isaiah 21:17) come as well as the trading ones. Nebaioth, mentioned with Kedar, in Genesis 25:13, among the descendants of Ishmael, expanded iii the centuries preceding the Christian era, into the kingdom of the Nabathœan Arabs, spreading from the Ælanitic Gulf to the Haurân. The two names together include what were known to the Roman geographers as Arabia Felix and Arabia Petræa. The primary thought is that the Temple of the new Jerusalem will be supplied with its... read more
