Compare all

18 “For I know their works and their ^athoughts. It shall be that I will ^bgather all nations and tongues; and they shall come and see My glory.

19 ^aI will set a sign among them; and those among them who escape I will send to the nations: to Tarshish and Pul and Lud, who draw the bow, and Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands afar off who have not heard My fame nor seen My glory. ^bAnd they shall declare My glory among the Gentiles.

20 Then they shall ^abring all your brethren ^bfor an offering to the Lord out of all nations, on horses and in chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.

21 And I will also take some of them for ^apriests and Levites,” says the Lord.

22 “For as ^athe new heavens and the new earth
Which I will make shall remain before Me,” says the Lord,
“So shall your descendants and your name remain.

23 And ^ait shall come to pass
That from one New Moon to another,
And from one Sabbath to another,
^bAll flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.

24 “And they shall go forth and look
Upon the corpses of the men
Who have transgressed against Me.
For their ^aworm does not die,
And their fire is not quenched.
They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”

Isaiah 66:20

And in chariots "And in counes" - There is a sort of vehicle much used in the east, consisting of a pair of hampers or cradles, thrown across a camel' s back, one on each side; in each of which a person is carried. They have a covering to defend them from the rain and the sun. Thevenot calls them counes , 1 p. 356. Maillet describes them as covered cages hanging on both sides of a camel. "At Aleppo," says Dr. Russell, "women of inferior condition in longer journeys are commonly stowed, one on each side of a mule, in a sort of covered cradles." Nat. Hist. of Aleppo, p. 89. These seem to be what the prophet means by the word tsabbim . Harmer' s Observations, 1 p. 445.
