Isaia 56:4 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 56:4

For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths,
&c.] That fear and serve the Lord; religiously observe all times of divine worship, and walk in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord; show regard to all the institutions of the Gospel, and perform all religious exercises, private and public, on Lord's days, and at other times: and choose the things that please me;
who do that which is wellpleasing unto God, which he has declared in his word to be acceptable to him; and do that from right principles, with right views, and of choice; not forced to it by those who have authority over them, or led to it merely by example and custom: and take hold of my covenant;
not the covenant of circumcision, as Kimchi; for what had eunuchs to do with that? but the covenant of grace, the everlasting covenant, the covenant of peace before spoken of ( Isaiah 14:10 ) ( 55:3 ) , made between the Father and the Son, on account of the elect; which may be said to be taken hold of when a person by faith claims his interest in God as his covenant God; comes to Christ as the Mediator of the covenant; and deals with his blood, righteousness, and sacrifice, for pardon, justification, and atonement; regards all the promises and blessings of the covenant as belonging to him and lives by faith on them, as such; so David by faith laid hold on this covenant, ( 2 Samuel 23:5 ) .

Isaia 56:4 In-Context

2 Beato l’uomo che fa così, e il figliuol dell’uomo che s’attiene a questo, che osserva il sabato astenendosi dal profanarlo, che trattiene la mano dal fare qualsiasi male!
3 Lo straniero che s’è unito all’Eterno non dica: "Certo, l’Eterno m’escluderà dal suo popolo!" Né dica l’eunuco: "Ecco, io son un albero secco!"
4 Poiché così parla l’Eterno circa gli eunuchi che osserveranno i miei sabati, che sceglieranno ciò che a me piace, e s’atterranno al mio patto:
5 Io darò loro, nella mia casa e dentro le mie mura, un posto ed un nome, che varranno meglio di figli e di figlie; darò loro un nome eterno, che non perirà più.
6 E anche gli stranieri che si sono uniti all’Eterno per servirlo, per amare il nome dell’Eterno, per essere suoi servi, tutti quelli che osserveranno il sabato astenendosi dal profanarlo e s’atterranno al mio patto,
