the night . . . solemnity--As in the passover night ye celebrate your deliverance from Egypt, so shall ye celebrate your rescue from Assyrian bondage. Translate, "the solemnity" (Exo 12:42).
goeth with a pipe--or flute. They used to go up to Jerusalem ("the mountain of the Lord," Zion) at the three feasts with music and gladness (Deu 16:16; Ezr 2:65; Psa 122:1-4). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Ye shall have a song - That is, ye inhabitants of Jerusalem shall rejoice when the army of the Assyrian is destroyed.
As in the night, when a solemnity is kept - The word 'solemnity' here (חג châg) denotes a festival, or feast; and refers, by way of eminence, to the Passover, which is usually designated as "the feast;" that is, the principal festival of the Jews (see Mat 27:15; Joh 5:1, Joh 5:11, Joh 5:13, Joh 5:23). This festival was kept at first at night, and was required to be so celebrated ever afterward Exo 12:42; Deu 16:1-6.
As when one goeth with a pipe - Music was used in the daily service of the temple, and their processions and celebrations were all with instrumental music. The simple idea is, that the sudden and complete destruction of the army of Sennacherib would be the occasion of the highest joy. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| This is the issue of the judgment which begins at the house of God, then turns against the instrument employed, namely the heathen, and becomes to the Israel that survives a counterpart of the deliverance from Egypt. "Your song will then sound as in the night, when the feast is celebrated; and ye will have joy of heart like those who march with the playing of flutes, to go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel." In the word châg (feast), which is generally used with special reference to the feast of tabernacles, there is here an unmistakeable allusion to the passover, as we may see from the introduction of "the night," which evidently means the night before the passover (lēl shimmurı̄m, Exo 12:42), which was so far a festal night, that it preceded and introduced the feast of unleavened bread. The prophet has taken his figure from the first passover-night in Egypt, when Israel was rejoicing in the deliverance which it was just about to receive, whilst the destroying angel was passing through the land. Such would be the song which they would be able to sing, when Jehovah poured out His judgment upon His people's enemies outside. The church is shut up in its chamber (Isa 26:20), and its joy resembles the heartfelt joy of those who go on pilgrimage on one of the three great feasts, or in the procession that carries up the first-fruits to Jerusalem (Biccurim, iii. 3), going up with the sound of flutes to the mountain of Jehovah, to appear before Him, the Rock of Israel. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| A song - You shall have songs of praise. The night - He seems to have a particular respect to the solemnity of the passover, in which they spent some considerable part of the night in rejoicing, and singing psalms before the Lord. As when - Like the joy of one that is going up to the solemn feasts with musick. |
1 A Song [07892] of degrees [04609] of David [01732]. I was glad [08055] when they said [0559] unto me, Let us go [03212] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068].
2 Our feet [07272] shall stand [05975] within thy gates [08179], O Jerusalem [03389].
3 Jerusalem [03389] is builded [01129] as a city [05892] that is compact [02266] together [03162]:
4 Whither [08033] the tribes [07626] go up [05927], the tribes [07626] of the LORD [03050], unto the testimony [05715] of Israel [03478], to give thanks [03034] unto the name [08034] of the LORD [03068].
65 Beside their servants [05650] and their maids [0519], of whom there were seven [07651] thousand [0505] three [07969] hundred [03967] thirty [07970] and seven [07651]: and there were [0428] among them two hundred [03967] singing men [07891] and singing women [07891].
16 Three [07969] times [06471] in a year [08141] shall all thy males [02138] appear [07200] before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] in the place [04725] which he shall choose [0977]; in the feast [02282] of unleavened bread [04682], and in the feast [02282] of weeks [07620], and in the feast [02282] of tabernacles [05521]: and they shall not appear [07200] before [06440] the LORD [03068] empty [07387]:
42 It is a night [03915] to be much observed [08107] unto the LORD [03068] for bringing [03318] them out from the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: this is that night [03915] of the LORD [03068] to be observed [08107] of all the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in their generations [01755].
1 Observe [08104] the month [02320] of Abib [024], and keep [06213] the passover [06453] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: for in the month [02320] of Abib [024] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] brought thee forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714] by night [03915].
2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice [02076] the passover [06453] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], of the flock [06629] and the herd [01241], in the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] shall choose [0977] to place [07931] his name [08034] there.
3 Thou shalt eat [0398] no leavened bread [02557] with it; seven [07651] days [03117] shalt thou eat [0398] unleavened bread [04682] therewith, even the bread [03899] of affliction [06040]; for thou camest forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] in haste [02649]: that thou mayest remember [02142] the day [03117] when thou camest forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] all the days [03117] of thy life [02416].
4 And there shall be no leavened bread [07603] seen [07200] with thee in all thy coast [01366] seven [07651] days [03117]; neither shall there any thing of the flesh [01320], which thou sacrificedst [02076] the first [07223] day [03117] at even [06153], remain [03885] all night until the morning [01242].
5 Thou mayest [03201] not sacrifice [02076] the passover [06453] within any [0259] of thy gates [08179], which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee:
6 But at the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall choose [0977] to place [07931] his name [08034] in, there thou shalt sacrifice [02076] the passover [06453] at even [06153], at the going down [0935] of the sun [08121], at the season [04150] that thou camest forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714].
42 It is a night [03915] to be much observed [08107] unto the LORD [03068] for bringing [03318] them out from the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: this is that night [03915] of the LORD [03068] to be observed [08107] of all the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in their generations [01755].
23 That [2443] all [3956] men should honour [5091] the Son [5207], even as [2531] they honour [5091] the Father [3962]. He that honoureth [5091] not [3361] the Son [5207] honoureth [5091] not [3756] the Father [3962] which [3588] hath sent [3992] him [846].
13 And [1161] he that was healed [2390] wist [1492] not [3756] who [5101] it was [2076]: for [1063] Jesus [2424] had conveyed himself away [1593], a multitude [3793] being [5607] in [1722] that place [5117].
11 He answered [611] them [846], He that made [4160] me [3165] whole [5199], the same [1565] said [2036] unto me [3427], Take up [142] thy [4675] bed [2895], and [2532] walk [4043].
1 After [3326] this [5023] there was [2258] a feast [1859] of the Jews [2453]; and [2532] Jesus [2424] went up [305] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414].
15 Now [1161] at [2596] that feast [1859] the governor [2232] was wont [1486] to release [630] unto the people [3793] a [1520] prisoner [1198], whom [3739] they would [2309].
20 Come [03212], my people [05971], enter [0935] thou into thy chambers [02315], and shut [05462] thy doors [01817] about thee: hide [02247] thyself as it were for a little [04592] moment [07281], until the indignation [02195] be overpast [05674].
42 It is a night [03915] to be much observed [08107] unto the LORD [03068] for bringing [03318] them out from the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: this is that night [03915] of the LORD [03068] to be observed [08107] of all the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in their generations [01755].
