Verse 10
"From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering."
"From the rivers of Ethiopia ..." "The use of Ethiopia here is to include the most distant nations of all, Ethiopia being considered as far away as they could imagine."[24] The dominion of Messiah is universal, with no racial or national distinctions whatever.
"Even the daughter of my dispersed ..." "This expression often means the scattered people of Israel; but the parallels to Genesis 11 suggest that the scattered and confused peoples of the world are intended here."[25] Here again, light from the New Testament clarifies the passage. James addressed the whole New Testament Church as "The Twelve Tribes in the Dispersion" (James 1:1, RSV).
