Bible Comments

And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.

And again, Esaias saith (Romans 11:10 ), There shall be a root, х hee (G3588) riza (G4491), 'the root'] of Jesse-meaning, not 'the root from which Jesse sprang,' but 'the root that is sprung from Jesse' (that is, from Jesse's son, David: see Revelation 22:16).

And he that shall rise to refer over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. So the Septuagint (in substantial though not verbal, agreement with the original).
