oblation--unbloody. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And the Lord shall be known to Egypt - Shall be worshipped and honored by the Jews who shall dwell there, and by those who shall be proselyted to their religion.
And the Egyptians shall know the Lord - That many of the Egyptians would be converted to the Jewish religion there can be no doubt. This was the result in all countries where the Jews had a residence (compare the notes at Act 2:9-11).
And shall do sacrifice - Shall offer sacrifices to Yahweh. They would naturally go to Jerusalem as often as practicable, and unite with the Jews there, in the customary rites of their religion.
And oblations - The word מנחה minichāh 'oblation,' denotes any offering that is not a "bloody" sacrifice - a thank-offering; an offering of incense, flour, grain, etc. (see the notes at Isa 1:13) The sense is, that they should be true worshippers of God.
They shall vow a vow ... - They shall be sincere and true worshippers of God. The large numbers of the Jews that dwelt there; the fact that many of them doubtless were sincere; the circumstances recorded Act 2:9-11, that Jews were in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost; and the fact that the true religion was carried to Egypt, and the Christian religion established there, all show how fully this prediction was fulfilled. |
Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
When Egypt became the prey of Islam in the year 640, there was already to be seen, at all events in the form of a magnificent prelude, the fulfilment of what the prophet foretells in Isa 19:21, Isa 19:22 : "And Jehovah makes Himself known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians know Jehovah in that day; and they serve with slain-offerings and meat-offerings, and vow vows to Jehovah, and pay them. And Jehovah smites Egypt, smiting and healing; and if they return to Jehovah, He suffers Himself to be entreated, and heals them." From that small commencement of five cities, and a solitary altar, and one solitary obelisk, it has now come to this: Jehovah extends the knowledge of Himself to the whole of Egypt ענודע, reflective se cognoscendum dare, or neuter innotescere), and throughout all Egypt there arises the knowledge of God, which soon shows itself in acts of worship. This worship is represented by the prophet, just as we should expect according to the Old Testament view, as consisting in the offering of bleeding and bloodless, or legal and free-will offerings: ועבדוּ, viz., את־יהוה, so that עבד is construed with a double accusative, as in Exo 10:26, cf., Gen 30:29; or it may possibly be used directly in the sense of sacrificing, as in the Phoenician, and like עשׂה in the Thorah; and even if we took it in this sense, it would yield no evidence against Isaiah's authorship (compare Isa 28:21; Isa 32:17). Egypt, though converted, is still sinful; but Jehovah smites it, "smiting and healing" (nâgoph verâpho', compare Kg1 20:37), so that in the act of smiting the intention of healing prevails; and healing follows the smiting, since the chastisement of Jehovah leads it to repentance. Thus Egypt is now under the same plan of salvation as Israel (e.g., Lev 26:44; Deu 32:36). |

13 Bring [0935] no more [03254] vain [07723] oblations [04503]; incense [07004] is an abomination [08441] unto me; the new moons [02320] and sabbaths [07676], the calling [07121] of assemblies [04744], I cannot away with [03201]; it is iniquity [0205], even the solemn meeting [06116].

36 For the LORD [03068] shall judge [01777] his people [05971], and repent [05162] himself for his servants [05650], when he seeth [07200] that their power [03027] is gone [0235], and there is none [0657] shut up [06113], or left [05800].
44 And yet [0637] for all that [02063], when they be [01571] in the land [0776] of their enemies [0341], I will not cast them away [03988], neither will I abhor [01602] them, to destroy them utterly [03615], and to break [06565] my covenant [01285] with them: for I am the LORD [03068] their God [0430].
37 Then he found [04672] another [0312] man [0376], and said [0559], Smite [05221] me, I pray thee. And the man [0376] smote [05221] him, so that in smiting [05221] he wounded [06481] him.
17 And the work [04639] of righteousness [06666] shall be peace [07965]; and the effect [05656] of righteousness [06666] quietness [08252] and assurance [0983] for [05704] ever [05769].
21 For the LORD [03068] shall rise up [06965] as in mount [02022] Perazim [06559], he shall be wroth [07264] as in the valley [06010] of Gibeon [01391], that he may do [06213] his work [04639], his strange [02114] work [04639]; and bring to pass [05647] his act [05656], his strange [05237] act [05656].
29 And he said [0559] unto him, Thou knowest [03045] how [0834] I have served [05647] thee, and how [0834] thy cattle [04735] was with me.
26 Our cattle [04735] also shall go [03212] with us; there shall not an hoof [06541] be left behind [07604]; for thereof must we take [03947] to serve [05647] the LORD [03068] our God [0430]; and we know [03045] not with what we must serve [05647] the LORD [03068], until we come [0935] thither.
22 And the LORD [03068] shall smite [05062] Egypt [04714]: he shall smite [05062] and heal [07495] it: and they shall return [07725] even to the LORD [03068], and he shall be intreated [06279] of them, and shall heal [07495] them.
21 And the LORD [03068] shall be known [03045] to Egypt [04714], and the Egyptians [04714] shall know [03045] the LORD [03068] in that day [03117], and shall do [05647] sacrifice [02077] and oblation [04503]; yea, they shall vow [05087] a vow [05088] unto the LORD [03068], and perform [07999] it.
