John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:11

Therefore thy gates shall be open continually ,.... This is expressive both of the peaceable state of the church, that she shall be in no danger, nor fear of enemies; there being none to hurt and destroy in all the holy mountain; and therefore under no concern to keep her gates shut; see Ezekiel 38:11 and of the vast concourse of people to it continually; converts from all parts shall be always coming in, and the gates of the church will stand open always to receive them; they will be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:12

For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish ,.... That will not serve the Lord Christ, and worship him with his church and people; that will not be obedient to the laws and ordinances of his house; but appoint another head over them, the pope of Rome; and make other laws, and set up other ordinances, rejecting the authority of Christ, the rule of his word, and the order of his churches: yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted ; even all the antichristian states,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:13

The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee ,.... Which are the trees that grew upon it, especially the cedars, for which it was famous, as well as the other trees after mentioned. Now, as these were brought into Solomon's temple, and used in the building of that, 1 Kings 6:9 , so such shall come of themselves, willingly and cheerfully, being drawn with the cords of love, into the church of Christ, comparable to the tall and strong cedars of Lebanon, and other trees, being eminent for their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 60:14

The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee ,.... The posterity of the Jews, who persecuted the first Christian churches, even those who say they are Jews and are not; these shall be convinced of the truth of the Christian religion, and be converted to it, and shall come and worship before the church, and in fellowship with it, and own it to be the true church of God; which is what is foretold shall be in the Philadelphian state, which is the same with the... 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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 60:6

The praises of the Lord "And the praise of Jehovah" - Thirty-three MSS. and three editions have ותהלת uthehillath , in the singular number; and so read the ancient versions, and one of my own MSS. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 60:7

The rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee - Vitringa on the place understands their ministering, and ascending or going up on the altar, as offering themselves voluntarily: ipsi se, non expectato sacerdote alto, gloriae et sanctificationi divini nominis ultro ac libenter oblaturi . "They, waiting for no priest, go and freely offer themselves to the glory and sanctification of the sacred name." This gives a very elegant and poetical turn to the image. It was a general notion that... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 60:8

And as the doves to their windows "And like doves upon the wing?" - Instead of אל el , to, forty-two MSS. of Kennicott's, and one of mine, have by על , upon. For ארבתיהם arubboteyhem , their windows, read אברתיהם ebrotheyhem , their wings, transposing a letter. - Houbigant. The Septuagint render it συν νεοσσοις , "with their young;" they read אפרחיהם ephrocheyhem , nearer to the latter than to the present reading. - L. read more
