Isaiah 60:13

Compare all

11 Therefore your gates ^ashall be open continually;
They shall not be shut day or night,
That men may bring to you the wealth of the Gentiles,
And their kings in procession.

12 ^aFor the nation and kingdom which will not serve you shall perish,
And those nations shall be utterly ruined.

13 “The^a glory of Lebanon shall come to you,
The cypress, the pine, and the box tree together,
To beautify the place of My sanctuary;
And I will make ^bthe place of My feet glorious.

14 Also the sons of those who afflicted you
Shall come ^abowing to you,
And all those who despised you shall ^bfall prostrate at the soles of your feet;
And they shall call you The City of the Lord,
^cZion of the Holy One of Israel.

15 “Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,
So that no one went through you,
I will make you an eternal excellence,
A joy of many generations.

Isaiah 60:13

And I will make the place of my feet glorious "And that I may glorify the place whereon I rest my feet" - The temple of Jerusalem was called the house of God, and the place of his rest or residence. The visible symbolical appearance of God, called by the Jews the schechinah , was in the most holy place, between the wings of the cherubim, above the ark. This is considered as the throne of God, presiding as King over the Jewish state; and as a footstool is a necessary appendage to a throne, (see note on Isaiah 52:2 (note)), the ark is considered as the footstool of God, and is so called, Psalms 99:6; I Chronicles 28:2.

The glory of Lebanon - That is, the cedar.
