Isaiah 35:9

Compare all

7 The parched ground shall become a pool,
And the thirsty land springs of water;
In ^athe habitation of jackals, where each lay,
There shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

8 A ^ahighway shall be there, and a road,
And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.
^bThe unclean shall not pass over it,
But it shall be for others.
Whoever walks the road, although a fool,
Shall not go astray.

9 ^aNo lion shall be there,
Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it;
It shall not be found there.
But the redeemed shall walk there,

10 And the ^aransomed of the Lord shall return,
And come to Zion with singing,
With everlasting joy on their heads.
They shall obtain joy and gladness,
And ^bsorrow and sighing shall flee away.

<< Isaiah 35:8

Isaiah 35:10 >>

Isaiah 35:9

It shall not be found there "Neither shall he be found there" - Three MSS. read velo , adding the conjunction; and so likewise the Septuagint and Vulgate. And four MSS., one ancient, read yimmatsa , the verb, as it certainly ought to be, in the masculine form.

The redeemed shall walk there - geulim . Those whose forfeited inheritances are brought back by the kinsman, goel , the nearest of kin to the family. This has been considered by all orthodox divines as referring to the incarnation of our Lord, and his sacrificial offering. After geulim , one of De Rossi' s MSS. adds AD olam , for ever, "The redeemed shall walk there for ever."
