my--All things are God's.
mountains a way--I will remove all obstructions out of the way (Isa 40:4).
exalted--that is, cast up (Isa 57:14; Isa 62:10); for instance, over valleys. VITRINGA explains "mountains" as great kingdoms, Egypt, Syria, &c., subjected to Rome, to facilitate the spreading of the Gospel; "highways," the Christian doctrine wherein those who join the Church walk, and which, at the time of Constantine, was to be raised into prominence before all, and publicly protected (Isa 35:8-9). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And I will make all my mountains a way - I will make all the mountains for a highway; or an even, level way. That is, he would remove all obstructions from their path. The image is taken from the return from Babylon to the land of Palestine, in which God so often promises to make the hills a plain, and the crooked places straight (see the notes at Isa 40:4).
And my highways shall be exalted - That is, the way shall be cast up (see Isa 57:14; Isa 62:10), as when a road is made over valleys and gulf (see the notes at Isa 40:4). |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| A way - I will remove all hindrances, and prepare the way for them, by levelling high grounds, and raising low grounds. |
