イザヤ書 56:5 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 56:3-8

The prophet is here, in God's name, encouraging those that were hearty in joining themselves to God and yet laboured under great discouragements. 1. Some were discouraged because they were not of the seed of Abraham. They had joined themselves to the Lord, and bound their souls with a bond to be his for ever (this is the root and life of religion, to break off from the world and the flesh, and devote ourselves entirely to the service and honour of God); but they questioned whether God would... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 56:5

Even to them will I give in mine house and within my walls ,.... The Targum is, "in the house of my sanctuary, and in the land of the house of my Shechinah;' meaning the temple at Jerusalem, in the land of Judea; but a Gospel church state is here meant, which is the house of God; the materials of which are true believers; the foundation Christ; the pillars and beams of it are the ministers of the word; the windows the ordinances, the door into it faith in Christ, and a profession of it;... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 56:5

I will give them an everlasting name - For לו lo , him, in the singular, it is evident that we ought to read למו lamo , them, in the plural: so read the Septuagint, Syriac, Chaldee, and Vulgate. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 56:1-8

AN EXHORTATION TO OBSERVE THE LAW , ESPECIALLY THE LAW OF THE SABBATH , COMBINED WITH PROMISES . There was much of the Law which it was impossible to observe during the Captivity. Sacrifice had ceased, the temple was destroyed, almost all the ceremonial law must have been suspended; even the command to do no work on the sabbath day cannot have been kept by a nation of slaves, whose masters would certainly not have permitted them to be idle one day in seven.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 56:1-8

The true observance of the sabbath. Foreign converts are commended for their observance of the sabbath, and promised an appropriate reward. The day was more strictly observed during the Babylonian and Persian periods ( Jeremiah 17:19-27 ; Ezekiel 20:11-21 ; Ezekiel 22:8 , Ezekiel 22:26 ; Nehemiah 13:15-22 ; cf. 2 Kings 11:11-16 with 1 Macc . 2:32-38). Its estimation rose with the estimation of prayer (Cheyne). I. THE DUTY OF OBEDIENCE . The Law is "the objective... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 56:3-7

Outward defects and defilements no hindrance to full communion in the Church of God. In the infancy of humanity, and with a people so carnal as the Israelites, it was necessary to teach the great doctrines of purity and holiness by a material symbolism. Hence the multitude of regulations in the Law concerning defects, blemishes, sources of outward defilement, methods of removing defilements, clean and unclean meats, and the like. God strove to train his people by these out ward shows to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 56:3-8

The open gate. The temple or house of God ( Isaiah 56:7 ) stands for his kingdom of righteousness; and in exalted vision the prophet foresees the time when it shall stand open to every man—to the stranger or heathen, and even to those physically debarred. It is to be called "a house of prayer for all people. " It is worthy of note that it should be called a house of prayer; the truth is intimated that, in the kingdom of God, sacrifice performed by the few on behalf of the many will... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 56:4-6

Disabled ones sharing Divine blessings. From the points of view of the earlier Judaism, eunuchs and strangers were persons placed under special disability. Neither could take full share in national or sanctuary privileges ( Deuteronomy 23:1-8 ). To understand the feeling towards eunuchs we must remember the two prevailing ideas among the Jews, which made offspring seem so desirable. 1 . A man found a sort of quasi-immortality in the feeling that he would live over again in his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 56:5

In mine house; i.e. "in my Church". Within my walls. Within the walls of my "holy city" (see above, Isaiah 54:11 , Isaiah 54:12 ; Isaiah 50:1-11 :14; Isaiah 42:12 ). A place and a name; or, a memorial and a name; i.e. honourable mention, like that promised to the woman who anointed Christ for his burial ( Matthew 26:13 ). Such mention is found in Matthew 19:12 ; Acts 8:27-39 . read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 56:5

Will I give in mine house - That is, they shalt be admitted to all the privileges of entering my house of prayer, and of being regarded as my true worshippers, and this shall be to them a more invaluable privilege than would be any earthly advantages. The word ‘house’ here refers undoubtedly to the temple, regarded as emblematic of the place of public worship in all ages.And within my walls - The walls of the city where God dwelt, referring primarily to the walls of Jerusalem. They should be... read more
