A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
ISRAEL'S GLORY AFTER HER AFFLICTION. (Isa. 60:1-22)

Arise--from the dust in which thou hast been sitting as a mourning female captive (Isa 3:26; Isa 52:1-2).

shine--or, "be enlightened; for thy light cometh"; impart to others the spiritual light now given thee (Isa 60:3). The Margin and GESENIUS translate, "Be enlightened"; be resplendent with posterity; imperative for the future indicative, "Thou shalt be enlightened" (Isa 58:8, Isa 58:10; Eph 5:8, Eph 5:14).

glory of the Lord--not merely the Shekinah, or cloud of glory, such as rested above the ark in the old dispensation, but the glory of the Lord in person (Jer 3:16-17).

is risen--as the sun (Mal 4:2; Luk 1:78, Margin).
