Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
But ye—as contrasted with the strangers. Ye shall have no need to attend to your flocks and lands: "strangers" will do that for you; your exclusive business will be the service of Jehovah as His "priests" (Exodus 19:6, which remains yet to be realized; compare as to the spiritual Israel, Isaiah 66:21; I Peter 2:5, I Peter 2:9; Revelation 1:6; Revelation 5:10).
Ministers— (Ezekiel 44:11).
eat . . . riches of . . . Gentiles— (Isaiah 60:5-11).
in their glory . . . boast yourselves—rather, "in their splendor ye shall be substituted in their stead"; ye shall substitute yourselves [MAURER].
