Isaiah 60:1 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. Arise - Call upon God through Christ, for his salvation; and,

Shine - אורי ori, be illuminated: for till thou arise and call upon God, thou wilt never receive true light.

For thy light is come - כי בא אורך ki ba orech, for thy light cometh. The Messiah is at the door; who, while he is a light to lighten the Gentiles, will be the glory - the effulgence, of his people Israel.

Isaiah 60:1

1 Arise, shine;a for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
