Isaías 48:19

19 Fuera, como la arena, tu simiente; y los renuevos de tus entrañas como las pedrezuelas de ella; nunca su nombre fuera cortado, ni raído de mi presencia

Isaías 48:19 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 48:19

Thy seed had also been as the sand
Upon the sea shore, as numerous as that, as was promised to Abraham, ( Genesis 22:17 ) : and the offspring of thy bowels as the gravel thereof;
that is, of the sand; the little stones that are in it, which lie in great numbers on the sea shore; the same thing expressed in different words, denoting the number of their posterity, as it would have been, had they received the Messiah, his doctrines and ordinances: it may be rendered, "and the offspring", or "those that go out of thy bowels", that spring from thee, are born of thee, "as the bowels thereof" ^F17, that is, of the sea; as what is within it, particularly the fishes of it, which are innumerable; and so Aben Ezra and Jarchi interpret it; and which sense is mentioned by Kimchi and Ben Melech: his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me:
the name of Israel, as the Targum has it; the name of the people of the Jews is no more in the land where they dwelt; they are cut off as a nation; their city and temple are destroyed, where they appear no more before the Lord; which would not have been, had they hearkened to the Messiah, embraced his truths, and been obedient to his commands.

Isaías 48:19 In-Context

17 Así dijo el SEÑOR, Redentor tuyo, el Santo de Israel: Yo soy, el SEÑOR Dios tuyo, que te enseña provechosamente; que te encamina por el camino en que andas

18 ¡Deseo que miraras tú a mis mandamientos! Fuera entonces tu paz como un río, y tu justicia como las ondas del mar

19 Fuera, como la arena, tu simiente; y los renuevos de tus entrañas como las pedrezuelas de ella; nunca su nombre fuera cortado, ni raído de mi presencia

20 Salid de Babilonia, huid de entre los caldeos. Dad nuevas de esto con voz de alegría; publicadlo, llevadlo hasta lo postrero de la tierra. Decid: Redimió el SEÑOR a su siervo Jacob

21 Y no tuvieron sed cuando los llevó por los desiertos; les hizo correr agua de la piedra; cortó la peña, y corrieron las aguas
