Ésaïe 19:21

21 Et l'Eternel sera connu des Egyptiens, Et les Egyptiens connaîtront l'Eternel en ce jour-là; Ils feront des sacrifices et des offrandes, Ils feront des voeux à l'Eternel et les accompliront.

Ésaïe 19:21 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 19:21

And the Lord shall be known to Egypt
The means of knowing him would be granted them; which were partly through the Bible being translated into the Greek language, at the request of Ptolemy king of Egypt, which was then understood in that country, and this was a considerable time before the coming of Christ; and chiefly through the Gospel being brought hither by the Evangelist Mark, and others, whereby many of them were brought to a spiritual, experimental, and evangelical knowledge of Christ:

and the Egyptians shall know the Lord;
own and acknowledge him, profess faith in him, hope of happiness by him, love of him, and subjection to him, his Gospel and ordinances:

and shall do sacrifice and oblation;
not such sacrifice and oblation as were enjoined by the ceremonial law, since those would be now abrogated; but the spiritual sacrifices of prayer, praise, and good works, and of the presentation of themselves, as a holy, living, and acceptable sacrifice to God, their reasonable service: under these ceremonial rites is signified the whole spiritual worship of the New Testament:

yea, they shall vow a vow unto the Lord, and perform [it];
lay themselves under obligation to serve the Lord, and act according to it; see ( Ecclesiastes 5:4 Ecclesiastes 5:5 ) and this is to be understood not of legal vows, as that of the Nazarite, or any other, but of the spiritual one of praise and thanksgiving; see ( Psalms 50:14 ) ( 65:1 ) .

Ésaïe 19:21 In-Context

19 En ce même temps, il y aura un autel à l'Eternel Au milieu du pays d'Egypte, Et sur la frontière un monument à l'Eternel.

20 Ce sera pour l'Eternel des armées un signe et un témoignage Dans le pays d'Egypte; Ils crieront à l'Eternel à cause des oppresseurs, Et il leur enverra un sauveur et un défenseur pour les délivrer.

21 Et l'Eternel sera connu des Egyptiens, Et les Egyptiens connaîtront l'Eternel en ce jour-là; Ils feront des sacrifices et des offrandes, Ils feront des voeux à l'Eternel et les accompliront.

22 Ainsi l'Eternel frappera les Egyptiens, Il les frappera, mais il les guérira; Et ils se convertiront à l'Eternel, Qui les exaucera et les guérira.

23 En ce même temps, il y aura une route d'Egypte en Assyrie: Les Assyriens iront en Egypte, et les Egyptiens en Assyrie, Et les Egyptiens avec les Assyriens serviront l'Eternel.
