Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 12:1

This chapter is composed of a beautiful song of thanksgiving. The closing verses of the previous chapter had made what is probably a symbolical mention of the deliverance of the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage by their passage over the Red Sea by the hand of God. Of course there was a song of thanksgiving, the Song of Moses and of Miriam (Exodus 15:1-27).

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 12:1-6

Isaiah 12:1-6. In that day thou shalt say— Isaiah concludes this most noble prophesy, with a eucharistic doxology from the mouth of those who would share in the blessings of the great redemption before specified.

The idea of salvation was peculiarly associated with the feast of tabernacles (see Isaiah 12:3). Hence the cry "Hosanna," "Save, we beseech thee," that accompanied Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem on that day (the fifteenth of the seventh month) (Isaiah 12:3- :; compare with Psalms 118:25;... read more

3. draw water . . . salvation—an expressive image in a hot country. On the last day of the feast of tabernacles the Jews used to bring water in a golden pitcher from the fountain of Siloam, and pour it, mingled with wine, on the sacrifice on the altar, with great rejoicing. This is the allusion in Jesus' words on "the last day of the feast" (John 7:2; John 7:37-39). The pouring out of water indicated repentance (John 7:2- :; compare, as to the Jews' repentance hereafter, John 7:2- :). There... read more
