Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 60:1-8

It is here promised that the gospel temple shall be very lightsome and very large. I. It shall be very lightsome: Thy light has come. When the Jews returned out of captivity they had light and gladness, and joy and honour; they then were made to know the Lord and to rejoice in his great goodness; and upon both accounts their light came. When the Redeemer came to Zion he brought light with him, he himself came to be a light. Now observe, 1. What this light is, and whence it springs: The Lord... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:3

And the Gentiles shall come to thy light ,.... To the Gospel, preached in the midst of her; and to Christ, who is her light and into her church state, and partake of the prosperity and happiness of it. The Targum is, "and nations shall walk in thy light;' and so in Revelation 21:24 , where it is interpreted of the nations of them that are saved, truly regenerated and converted persons: and kings to the brightness of thy rising ; Christ, the sun of righteousness, will rise upon her;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:4

Lift up thine eyes round about, and see ,.... The Gentiles and kings coming to Christ and his church; the vast number of converts flocking from all parts of the world to join themselves to the church of Christ, and to behold the wonderful work of God among the Jews now converted. The Targum is, "lift up thine eyes O Jerusalem, round about, and see all the children of the people of thy captivity:' all they gather themselves, and come to thee : this seems to have respect not to the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:5

Then thou shalt see, and flow together ,.... That is, when thou seest thy sons and daughters flocking to thee from all parts, there will be a flow of joy in thee, like the stream of a river; or thine heart will beat and flutter within thee, through surprise and joy, when thou seest such a numerous company gathered unto thee. Some render it, "then thou shall fear", as Aben Ezra F21 "Tum timebis", Vitringa. , or be surprised at the sight; and others the next clause, "thou shall be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:6

The multitudes of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah ,.... That is, multitudes of people riding on these creatures from the parts mentioned, which, abounded with them, should come and cover or fill Jerusalem, and the places about it. Midian was a son of Abraham by Keturah, and a son of Midian, Genesis 25:4 these and their posterity inhabit Arabia; and so this is a prophecy of the conversion of the Arabians that dwell in Arabia Felix, Petraea, and Deserts; and so... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:7

All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee ,.... Nebaioth and Kedar were the sons of Ishmael, Genesis 25:13 , Ishmael's twelve sons, of which Nebaioth was the eldest, inhabited all the country from Euphrates to the Red sea, calling it the Nabatene country, as Josephus F2 Antiqu. I. 1. c. 12. sect 4. says; these design the Turks and Saracens, who shall now be converted. The Targum is, "all the sheep of the Arabians shall be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:8

Who are these that fly as a cloud ,.... Referring to the vast number of converts before mentioned, who are compared to a "cloud" for the number of them, covering Judea as the clouds do the heavens; and for their elevation and situation, being raised from an earthly to a heavenly state; called with a high calling, and made partakers of an heavenly one; and for their being filled with the grace of God, as clouds with water; and for their unanimity, their coming together in a body, making as it... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 60:3

And the Gentiles shall come - This has been in some sort already fulfilled. The Gentiles have received the light of the Gospel from the land of Judea, and the Gentile kings have embraced that Gospel; so that many nations of the earth are full of the doctrine of Christ. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 60:4

Shall be nursed at thy side "Shall be carried at the side" - For תאמנה teamanah , shall be nursed, the Septuagint and Chaldee read תנשאנה tinnasenah , shall be carried. A MS. has תנשאנה כתף על al catheph tinnasenah , "shall be carried on the shoulder;" instead of תאמנה צד על al tsad teamanah , "shall be nursed on the side." Another MS. has both כתף catheph and צד tsad . Another MS. has it thus: תאמנה : תנשאנה tinnasenah : teamanah , with a line drawn over the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 60:5

Then thou shalt see "Then shalt thou fear" - For תראי tirai , thou shalt see, as ours and much the greater number of the translators, ancient and modern, render it, forty MSS. (ten ancient) of Kennicott's, and twenty-eight of De Rossi's, with one ancient of my own, and the old edition of 1488, have תיראי tirai , thou shalt fear: the true reading, confirmed by the perfect parallelism of the sentences: the heart ruffled and dilated in the second line answering to the fear and joy... read more
