Isaiah 30:26
Compare all
24 Likewise the oxen and the young donkeys that work the ground
Will eat cured fodder,
Which has been winnowed with the shovel and fan.
25 There will be aon every high mountain
And on every high hill
Rivers and streams of waters,
In the day of the bgreat slaughter,
When the towers fall. 
26 Moreover athe light of the moon will be as the light of the sun,
And the light of the sun will be sevenfold,
As the light of seven days,
In the day that the Lord binds up the bruise of His people
And heals the stroke of their wound. 

Judgment on Assyria

27 Behold, the name of the Lord comes from afar,
Burning with His anger,
And His burden is heavy;
His lips are full of indignation,
And His tongue like a devouring fire.
28 aHis breath is like an overflowing stream,
bWhich reaches up to the neck,
To sift the nations with the sieve of futility;
And there shall be ca bridle in the jaws of the people,
Causing them to err. 
29 You shall have a song
As in the night when a holy festival is kept,
And gladness of heart as when one goes with a flute,
To1 come into athe mountain of the Lord,
To the Mighty One of Israel. 
30 aThe Lord will cause His glorious voice to be heard,
And show the descent of His arm,
With the indignation of His anger
And the flame of a devouring fire,
With scattering, tempest, band hailstones.

Isaiah 30:26

Shall be sevenfold - The text adds keor shibath haiyamayim , "as the light of seven days, "a manifest gloss, taken in from the margin; it is not in most of the copies of the Septuagint. It interrupts the rhythmical construction, and obscures the sense by a false, or at least an unnecessary, interpretation.

By moon, sun, light, are to be understood the abundance of spiritual and temporal felicity with which God should bless them in the days of the Messiah, which should be sevenfold, i.e. vastly exceed all that they had ever before possessed.
