イザヤ書 61:5-9 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 61:4-9

Promises are here made to the Jews now returned out of captivity, and settled again in their own land, which are to be extended to the gospel church, and all believers, who through grace are delivered out of spiritual thraldom; for they are capable of being spiritually applied. I. It is promised that their houses shall be rebuilt (Isa. 61:4), that their cities shall be raised out of the ruins in which they had long lain, and be fitted up for their use again: They shall build the old wastes;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 61:5

And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks ,.... The several congregated churches of Christ, which shall be set among them, compared to flocks of sheep, as they often are; and which shall be fed with knowledge and understanding, with the words of faith and sound doctrine, by pastors of the Gentile race; who shall be raised up by Christ, and shall freely, and faithfully, and constantly perform the office they are called unto; see Acts 20:28 , and the sons of the alien shall be your... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 61:6

But ye shall be named the priests of the Lord ,.... Or, "and ye shall be named", &c.; which Jerom understands of the builders of cities, pastors of flocks, the ploughmen and vinedressers, the strangers and the sons of the alien, that these also should be called priests: but rather it designs the Jews, when they shall be called and converted, and when there will be no more the distinction of priests and common people, but they shall all be kings and priests unto God, a royal priesthood,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 61:7

For your shame you shall have double ,.... Or, "for your double shame" F2 תחת במתכם משנה "pro pudore vestro duplici", Gataker, Vitringa; "loco pudoris vestri duplicis", Piscator. ; instead of being a reproach, a proverb, a taunt, and a curse, as the Jews now are everywhere; being converted, they will have double honour, both in things civil and religious, be in great esteem with Christ, and all his people: and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion ; instead of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 61:8

For I the Lord love judgment ,.... To do that which is right and just himself, and to see it done by others, and therefore he will right the wrongs of his people; and whereas the Jews, though they have justly suffered his vengeance for their sins, yet being reproached and abused beyond measure by the Gentiles, among whom they are dispersed; the Lord will look in mercy upon them, and will deliver and save them, and bestow favours plentifully on them, as in the preceding verse: or the Lord... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 61:9

And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people ,.... Not only the Jews will be converted as a body in the latter day, but there will be a succession of converts among them in later ages, and will be known among Christian Gentiles by their faith and love, and good works and holy conversation; and will be taken notice of and acknowledged by them as brethren, and will be famous among them for religion and godliness: all that see them shall acknowledge... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 61:7

For your shame "Instead of your shame" - The translation of this verse, which is very confused, and probably corrupted in the Hebrew, is taken from the Syriac Version; except that the latter has not expressed the word משנה mishneh , double, in the first place. Five MSS. add the conjunction ו vau to שמחת simchath . The Syriac reads תרנו taronnu , and תירשו tirashu , in the second person, "ye shall rejoice, ye shall inherit. "And for להם lahem , to them, two MSS., (one... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 61:8

I hate robbery for burnt-offering "Who hate rapine and iniquity" - The Syriac, and Chaldee prefix the conjunction ו vau , instead of the preposition ב beth , to עולה olah , which they render iniquity or oppression; and so the Septuagint, αδικιας . The difference lies in the punctuation; בעולה beolah , in a burnt-offering בעולה beavelah , in iniquity. The letters are the same in both words. Five of De Rossi's MSS. confirm this reading. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 61:9

Their seed shall be known among the Gentiles - Both Jews and Gentiles are to make but one fold under one shepherd, Christ Jesus. But still, notwithstanding this, they may retain their peculiarity and national distinction; so that though they are known to be Christians, yet they shall appear to be converted Jews. After their conversion to Christianity this will necessarily be the case for a long time. Strange nations are not so speedily amalgamated, as to lose their peculiar cast of features,... read more
