Isaías 60:7

7 En ti se reunirán todos los rebaños de Cedar,te servirán los carneros de Nebayot;subirán como ofrendas agradables sobre mi altar,y yo embelleceré mi templo glorioso.

Isaías 60:7 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 60:7

All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered unto thee, the rams
of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee
Nebaioth and Kedar were the sons of Ishmael, ( Genesis 25:13 ) , Ishmael's twelve sons, of which Nebaioth was the eldest, inhabited all the country from Euphrates to the Red sea, calling it the Nabatene country, as Josephus ^F2 says; these design the Turks and Saracens, who shall now be converted. The Targum is,

``all the sheep of the Arabians shall be gathered unto thee;''

that is, these shall come with their sheep and rams, not to be offered up in sacrifice, for such sacrifices will not be used; but these, being the produce of the countries of these people, are mentioned to show, that being affected with the grace of God towards them, and influenced by it, will bring the best and chief of their substance to serve the interest of Christ, and glorify him with it: they shall come up with acceptance on my altar;
both they and their sacrifices and offerings will become acceptable to God through Christ, who is that altar that sanctifies every gift: and I will glorify the house of my glory:
with this large number of converts, and with the gifts and offerings they bring with them; the church is meant, which is the house of God, where he dwells and manifests his glory, the glory of himself, of his grace, and of his Gospel; see ( Jeremiah 30:19 ) .

Isaías 60:7 In-Context

5 Verás esto y te pondrás radiante de alegría;vibrará tu corazón y se henchirá de gozo;porque te traerán los tesoros del mar,y te llegarán las riquezas de las naciones.

6 Te llenarás con caravanas de camellos,con dromedarios de Madián y de Efa.Vendrán todos los de Sabá,cargando oro e inciensoy proclamando las alabanzas del SEÑOR.

7 En ti se reunirán todos los rebaños de Cedar,te servirán los carneros de Nebayot;subirán como ofrendas agradables sobre mi altar,y yo embelleceré mi templo glorioso.

8 »¿Quiénes son los que pasan como nubes,y como palomas rumbo a su palomar?

9 En mí esperarán las costas lejanas;a la cabeza vendrán los barcos de Tarsistrayendo de lejos a tus hijos,y con ellos su oro y su plata,para la honra del SEÑOR tu Dios,el Santo de Israel,porque él te ha llenado de gloria.
