Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 60:13

Isaiah 60:13. The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee As Lebanon furnished cedars, and other choice timber, for building and beautifying Solomon’s temple, so shall different nations contribute what is most excellent and suitable among them for supporting, establishing, enlarging, and adorning the church of Christ, here called the place of God’s sanctuary, with allusion to the temple, an eminent type of it. See note on Psalms 46:4-5. And I will make the place of my feet glorious The... 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

The nations serving Israel 60:10-16Now the relationship of the nations to Israel becomes even clearer. The Gentiles will come to Israel because of her God, will submit themselves to Israel because of what the Lord will do for her, and will serve the Lord with Israel. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 60:13

The nations will bring all their finest products to Jerusalem as gifts to the Lord. For example, Lebanon will probably bring its famous forest products, as it did for Solomon, who built the first temple in Jerusalem. This will all result in the beautification of the temple (cf. 1 Chronicles 28:2) and, therefore, the glorification of Israel’s God. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 60:13

(13) The glory of Lebanon . . .—The prophet sees in the new Jerusalem a revival of the glories of the days of Solomon. The cedars of Lebanon, and other trees of the forest, are to furnish timber for its buildings, or even to be planted in the courts of the Temple, or in its open places and streets (Psalms 52:8; Psalms 92:12-13; Isaiah 35:2).The box is probably, as in Isaiah 41:19, a species of cedar.The place of my feet is clearly parallel with the “sanctuary” of the previous clause. So the... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 60:1-22

The 'No Mores' of Life Isaiah 60:0 I. The tone is very wonderful. No more sun, no more moon, no more wasting, no more violence, no more earth, no more firmament heaven, but quite another heaven, which that great firmament has been trying, and trying in vain, to hint at all these countless thousands of ages. It is very curious to notice how many things you can part with without parting with yourself. It is astonishing how many things you could cut off your own self and leave yourself in all its... read more
