Isaiah 29:1 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, a name signifying either "lion of God" or, more likely, "mountain of God," the city where David dwelt! which is still distinguished by that fact. Add ye year to year, another year to the present year; let them kill sacrifices, so that another cycle of festivals will be completed, that is, after the end of the present year another full church-year would elapse, but then the catastrophe would surely strike Jerusalem.

Isaiah 29:1

1 Woea to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
