give place—rather, "stand close to me," namely, in order that we may be the more able to dwell in in the narrow place [HORSLEY]. Compare as to Israel's spiritual children, and the extension of the gospel sphere, Romans 15:19, Romans 15:24; II Corinthians 10:14-16. But Isaiah 49:22 (compare Isaiah 66:20) shows that her literal children are primarily meant. GESENIUS translates, "Make room."
