I will raise up for them a plant of renown - Messiah, the "Rod," and "Branch" (Isaiah 11:1), the "righteous Branch" (Jeremiah 23:5), who shall obtain for them "renown." Fairbairn, less probably, translates, 'a plantation for a name' - i:e., a flourishing condition, represented as a garden (alluding to Eden, Genesis 2:8-11, with its various trees good for food and pleasant to the sight), the planting of the Lord (Isaiah 60:21; Isaiah 61:3), and an object of "renown" among the pagan.
