stumble . . . taken--images from the means used in taking wild animals. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And many among them - Many by the invasion under the Assyrian. Many were taken captive; many killed. and many were carried to Babylon. The repetition here of so many expressions so nearly synonymous is emphatic, and shows that it would be certainly done. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Many - Not all; for there shall be a remnant, as was foretold, Isa 4:2, Isa 6:13. Stumble - At that stone or rock, mentioned, Isa 8:14. This was accomplished at the coming of the Messiah, whom the Jews rejected to their own destruction. |
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
