Isaiah 56:6 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 56:6

Also the sons of the stranger that join themselves to the Lord,
&c.] Having answered the objection and removed the discouragement of the eunuch, he now returns to the sons of the stranger, who also join themselves to the Lord, as the eunuch had done; see ( Isaiah 56:4 ) and who do this, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants;
who give up themselves to him, not only to be saved by him, but to serve him in righteousness and holiness, with reverence and godly fear, and from a principle of love to him; being heartily desirous, and accounting it an honour, to be his servants: everyone that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold
of my covenant; (See Gill on Isaiah 56:4).

Isaiah 56:6 In-Context

4 For thus saith the LORD: "Unto the eunuchs that keep My Sabbaths, and choose the things that please Me, and take hold of My covenant,

5 even unto them will I give in Mine house and within My walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off.

6 Also the sons of the stranger that join themselves to the LORD to serve Him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be His servants, every one that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of My covenant,

7 even them will I bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon Mine altar, for Mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people."

8 The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, "Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him."
