Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871). CCEL expanded electronic edition states it is in the public domain.
Isaiah Chapter 35 1 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
Isaiah Chapter 35 2 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
2. glory of Lebanon--its ornament, namely, its cedars
(Isa 10:34).
excellency of Carmel--namely, its beauty.
Sharon--famed for its fertility.
see . . . glory of the Lord . . . excellency--
(Isa 40:5, 9).
While the wilderness which had neither "glory" nor "excellency" shall have both "given to it," the Lord shall have all the "glory" and "excellency" ascribed to Him, not to the transformed wilderness
(Mt 5:16).
Isaiah Chapter 35 3 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
3. Strengthen . . . hands . . . confirm . . . knees--The Hebrew for "strengthen" refers to the strength residing in the hand for grasping and holding a thing manfully; "confirm," to the firmness with which one keeps his ground, so as not to be dislodged by any other [MAURER]. Encourage the Jews, now desponding, by the assurance of the blessings promised.
Isaiah Chapter 35 4 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
4. fearful--"hasty," Margin; that is, with a heart fluttered with agitation.
with--the Hebrew is more forcible than the English Version: "God will come, vengeance! even God, a recompense!" The sense is the same.
Isaiah Chapter 35 5 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
5, 6. Language figuratively, descriptive of the joy felt at the deliverance from Assyria and Babylon; literally, true of the antitypical times of Messiah and His miracles (see Margin references,
Mt 11:5; Lu 7:2; 2Jo 5, 8; Ac 3:2).
Isaiah Chapter 35 6 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
6. leap--literally, "fulfilled"
(Ac 3:8; 14:10).
sing--joyful thanksgiving.
in . . . wilderness . . . waters--
(Isa 41:18).
Isaiah Chapter 35 7 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
7. parched ground--rather, "the mirage (Hebrew, Sharab, 'the sun's heat') shall become a (real) lake." The sun's rays refracted on the glowing sands at midday give the appearance of a lake of water and often deceive the thirsty traveller (compare
Jer 2:13; Isa 41:18).
dragons--rather, "jackals."
each--namely, jackal.
grass--rather, "a dwelling or receptacle (answering to the previous habitation) for reeds," &c. (which only grow where there is water,
Job 8:11).
Where once there was no water, water shall abound.
Isaiah Chapter 35 8 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
8. highway--such a causeway (raised way, from a Hebrew root, "to cast up") as was used for the march of armies; valleys being filled up, hills and other obstructions removed
(Isa 62:10;
compare
Isa 40:3, 4).
way of holiness--Hebraism for "the holy way." HORSLEY translates, "the way of the Holy One;" but the words that follow, and
Isa 35:10,
show it is the way leading the redeemed back to Jerusalem, both the literal and the heavenly
(Isa 52:1; Joe 3:17; Re 21:27);
still Christ at His coming again shall be the Leader on the way, for which reason it is called, "The way of the Lord"
(Isa 40:3; Mal 3:1).
it shall be for those: the wayfaring men--rather, "He (the Holy One) shall be with them, walking in the way" [HORSLEY].
though fools--rather, "And (even) fools," that is, the simple shall not go astray, namely, because "He shall be with them"
(Mt 11:25; 1Co 1:26-28).
Isa 35:1-10.
CONTINUATION OF THE PROPHECY IN THE THIRTY-FOURTH CHAPTER.
See on
Isa 34:1,
introduction there.
1. solitary place--literally, "a dry place," without springs of water. A moral wilderness is meant.
for them--namely, on account of the punishment inflicted according to the preceding prophecy on the enemy; probably the blessings set forth in this chapter are included in the causes for joy
(Isa 55:12).
rose--rather, "the meadow-saffron," an autumnal flower with bulbous roots; so Syriac translation.
