Isaiah 25:7 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations. The face of the covering cast over all people "The covering that covered the face of all the peoples" - MS. Bodl. reads על פני כל al peney chol. The word פני peney, face, has been removed from its right place into the line above, where it makes no sense; as Houbigant conjectured. "The face of the covering," etc. He will unveil all the Mosaic ritual, and show by his apostles that it referred to, and was accomplished in, the sacrificial offering of Jesus Christ.
