A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
to Zion-- Rom 11:26 quotes it, "out of Zion." Thus Paul, by inspiration, supplements the sense from Psa 14:7 : He was, and is come to Zion, first with redemption, being sprung as man out of Zion. The Septuagint translates "for the sake of Zion." Paul applies this verse to the coming restoration of Israel spiritually.
them that turn from-- (Rom 11:26). "shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob"; so the Septuagint, Paul herein gives the full sense under inspiration. They turn from transgression, because He first turns them from it, and it from them (Psa 130:4; Lam 5:21). |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And the Redeemer shall come - On the meaning of the word rendered here 'Redeemer,' see the notes at Isa 43:1. This passage is applied by the apostle Paul to the Messiah Rom 11:26; and Aben Ezra and Kimchi, among the Jews, and Christians generally, suppose that it refers to him.
To Zion - On the word 'Zion,' see the notes at Isa 1:8. The Septuagint renders this, Ἔνεκεν Σιὼν Heneken Siōn - 'On account of Zion.' The apostle Paul Rom 11:26, renders this, 'There shall come out of Zion (ἐκ Σιὼν ek Siōn) the Deliverer,' meaning that he would arise among that people, or would not be a foreigner. The idea in Isaiah, though substantially the same, is rather that he would come as a deliverer from abroad; that is, he would come from heaven, or be commissioned by God. When it is said that he would come to Zion, it is not meant that he would come exclusively to the Jews, but that his mission would be primarily to them.
And unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob - There is much variety in the interpretation of this passage. Paul Rom 11:26 quotes it thus, 'and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob;' and in this he has literally followed the Septuagint. The Vulgate renders it as in our translation. The Chaldee, 'And shall turn transgressors of the house of Jacob to the law.' The Syriac, 'To those who turn iniquity from Jacob.' Lowth has adopted the rendering of the Septuagint, and supposes that an error has crept into the Hebrew text. But there is no good authority for this supposition. The Septuagint and the apostle Paul have retained substantially, as Vitringa has remarked, the sense of the text. The main idea of the prophet is, that the effect of the coming of the Messiah would be to turn people from their sins. He would enter into covenant only with those who forsook their transgressions, and the only benefit to be derived from his coming would be that many would be thus turned from their iniquities. |
The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
Redeemer
Redemption: Kinsman type, summary. The goel, or Kinsman-Redeemer, is a beautiful type of Christ.
(1) The kinsman redemption was of persons, and an inheritance (Lev 25:48); (Lev 25:25); (Gal 4:5); (Eph 1:7); (Eph 1:11); (Eph 1:14).
(2) The Redeemer must be a kinsman (Lev 25:48); (Lev 25:49); (Rut 3:12); (Rut 3:13); (Gal 4:4); (Heb 2:14); (Heb 2:15).
(3) The Redeemer must be able to redeem (Rut 4:4-6); (Jer 50:34); (Joh 10:11); (Joh 10:18).
(4) Redemption is effected by the goel paying the just demand in full (Lev 25:27); (Pe1 1:18); (Pe1 1:19); (Gal 3:13).
(See Scofield) - (Exo 14:30).
(See Scofield) - (Rom 3:24).
come to Zion
The time when the "Redeemer shall come to Zion" is fixed, relatively, by (Rom 11:23-29) as following the completion of the Gentile Church. That is also the order of the great dispensational passage, (Act 15:14-17).
In both, the return of the Lord to Zion follows the outcalling of the Church. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
The Redeemer - Christ, of whom the apostle expounds it, Rom 11:26, the prophets usually concluding their promises of temporal deliverances with the promises of spiritual, especially such, of which the temporal were evident types. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob "And shall turn away iniquity from Jacob" - So the Septuagint and St. Paul, Rom 11:26, reading instead of לשבי leshabey and ביעקב beyaacob, והשיב veheshib and מיעקב meyaacob. The Syriac likewise reads והשיב veheshib; and the Chaldee, to the same sense, ולהשיב ulehashib. Our translators have expressed the sense of the present reading of the Hebrew text: "And unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob." |
21 Turn [07725] thou us unto thee, O LORD [03068], and we shall be turned [07725]; renew [02318] our days [03117] as of old [06924].
4 But there is forgiveness [05547] with thee, that thou mayest be feared [03372].
26 And [2532] so [3779] all [3956] Israel [2474] shall be saved [4982]: as [2531] it is written [1125], There shall come [2240] out of [1537] Sion [4622] the Deliverer [4506], and [2532] shall turn away [654] ungodliness [763] from [575] Jacob [2384]:
7 Oh that [05414] the salvation [03444] of Israel [03478] were come out of Zion [06726]! when the LORD [03068] bringeth back [07725] the captivity [07622] of his people [05971], Jacob [03290] shall rejoice [01523], and Israel [03478] shall be glad [08055].
26 And [2532] so [3779] all [3956] Israel [2474] shall be saved [4982]: as [2531] it is written [1125], There shall come [2240] out of [1537] Sion [4622] the Deliverer [4506], and [2532] shall turn away [654] ungodliness [763] from [575] Jacob [2384]:
26 And [2532] so [3779] all [3956] Israel [2474] shall be saved [4982]: as [2531] it is written [1125], There shall come [2240] out of [1537] Sion [4622] the Deliverer [4506], and [2532] shall turn away [654] ungodliness [763] from [575] Jacob [2384]:
26 And [2532] so [3779] all [3956] Israel [2474] shall be saved [4982]: as [2531] it is written [1125], There shall come [2240] out of [1537] Sion [4622] the Deliverer [4506], and [2532] shall turn away [654] ungodliness [763] from [575] Jacob [2384]:
8 And the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726] is left [03498] as a cottage [05521] in a vineyard [03754], as a lodge [04412] in a garden of cucumbers [04750], as a besieged [05341] city [05892].
26 And [2532] so [3779] all [3956] Israel [2474] shall be saved [4982]: as [2531] it is written [1125], There shall come [2240] out of [1537] Sion [4622] the Deliverer [4506], and [2532] shall turn away [654] ungodliness [763] from [575] Jacob [2384]:
1 But now thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] that created [01254] thee, O Jacob [03290], and he that formed [03335] thee, O Israel [03478], Fear [03372] not: for I have redeemed [01350] thee, I have called [07121] thee by thy name [08034]; thou art mine.
14 Simeon [4826] hath declared [1834] how [2531] God [2316] at the first [4412] did visit [1980] the Gentiles [1484], to take [2983] out of [1537] them a people [2992] for [1909] his [846] name [3686].
15 And [2532] to this [5129] agree [4856] the words [3056] of the prophets [4396]; as [2531] it is written [1125],
16 After [3326] this [5023] I will return [390], and [2532] will build again [456] the tabernacle [4633] of David [1138], which [3588] is fallen down [4098]; and [2532] I will build again [456] the ruins [2679] thereof [846], and [2532] I will set [461] it [846] up [461]:
17 That [3704] [302] the residue [2645] of men [444] might seek after [1567] the Lord [2962], and [2532] all [3956] the Gentiles [1484], upon [1909] whom [3739] my [3450] name [3686] is called [1941] [1909] [846], saith [3004] the Lord [2962], who [3588] doeth [4160] all [3956] these things [5023].
23 And [1161] they [1565] also [2532], if [3362] they abide [1961] not [3362] still in unbelief [570], shall be graffed in [1461]: for [1063] God [2316] is [2076] able [1415] to graff [1461] them [846] in [1461] again [3825].
24 For [1063] if [1487] thou [4771] wert cut [1581] out of [1537] the olive tree which is wild [65] by [2596] nature [5449], and [2532] wert graffed [1461] contrary to [3844] nature [5449] into [1519] a good olive tree [2565]: how much [4214] more [3123] shall these [3778], which be the natural [2596] [5449] branches, be graffed into [1461] their own [2398] olive tree [1636]?
25 For [1063] I would [2309] not [3756], brethren [80], that ye [5209] should be ignorant [50] of this [5124] mystery [3466], lest [3363] ye should be [5600] wise [5429] in [3844] your own conceits [1438]; that [3754] blindness [4457] in [575] part [3313] is happened [1096] to Israel [2474], until [891] [3739] the fulness [4138] of the Gentiles [1484] be come in [1525].
26 And [2532] so [3779] all [3956] Israel [2474] shall be saved [4982]: as [2531] it is written [1125], There shall come [2240] out of [1537] Sion [4622] the Deliverer [4506], and [2532] shall turn away [654] ungodliness [763] from [575] Jacob [2384]:
27 For [2532] this [3778] is my [3844] [1700] covenant [1242] unto them [846], when [3752] I shall take away [851] their [846] sins [266].
28 As concerning [2596] [3303] the gospel [2098], they are enemies [2190] for your sakes [1223] [5209]: but [1161] as touching [2596] the election [1589], they are beloved [27] for [1223] the fathers [3962]' sakes [1223].
29 For [1063] the gifts [5486] and [2532] calling [2821] of God [2316] are without repentance [278].
24 Being justified [1344] freely [1432] by his [846] grace [5485] through [1223] the redemption [629] that is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]:
30 Thus the LORD [03068] saved [03467] Israel [03478] that day [03117] out of the hand [03027] of the Egyptians [04714]; and Israel [03478] saw [07200] the Egyptians [04714] dead [04191] upon the sea [03220] shore [08193].
13 Christ [5547] hath redeemed [1805] us [2248] from [1537] the curse [2671] of the law [3551], being made [1096] a curse [2671] for [5228] us [2257]: for [1063] it is written [1125], Cursed [1944] is every one [3956] that hangeth [2910] on [1909] a tree [3586]:
19 But [235] with the precious [5093] blood [129] of Christ [5547], as [5613] of a lamb [286] without blemish [299] and [2532] without spot [784]:
18 Forasmuch as ye know [1492] that [3754] ye were [3084] not [3756] redeemed [3084] with corruptible things [5349], as silver [694] and [2228] gold [5553], from [1537] your [5216] vain [3152] conversation [391] received by tradition from your fathers [3970];
27 Then let him count [02803] the years [08141] of the sale [04465] thereof, and restore [07725] the overplus [05736] unto the man [0376] to whom he sold [04376] it; that he may return [07725] unto his possession [0272].
18 No man [3762] taketh [142] it [846] from [575] me [1700], but [235] I [1473] lay [5087] it [846] down [5087] of [575] myself [1683]. I have [2192] power [1849] to lay [5087] it [846] down [5087], and [2532] I have [2192] power [1849] to take [2983] it [846] again [3825]. This [5026] commandment [1785] have I received [2983] of [3844] my [3450] Father [3962].
11 I [1473] am [1510] the good [2570] shepherd [4166]: the good [2570] shepherd [4166] giveth [5087] his [846] life [5590] for [5228] the sheep [4263].
34 Their Redeemer [01350] is strong [02389]; the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] is his name [08034]: he shall throughly [07378] plead [07378] their cause [07379], that he may give rest [07280] to the land [0776], and disquiet [07264] the inhabitants [03427] of Babylon [0894].
4 And I thought [0559] to advertise [01540] [0241] thee, saying [0559], Buy [07069] it before the inhabitants [03427], and before the elders [02205] of my people [05971]. If thou wilt redeem [01350] it, redeem [01350] it: but if thou wilt not redeem [01350] it, then tell [05046] me, that I may know [03045]: for there is none to redeem [01350] it beside [02108] thee; and I am after [0310] thee. And he said [0559], I will redeem [01350] it.
5 Then said [0559] Boaz [01162], What day [03117] thou buyest [07069] the field [07704] of the hand [03027] of Naomi [05281], thou must buy [07069] it also of Ruth [07327] the Moabitess [04125], the wife [0802] of the dead [04191], to raise up [06965] the name [08034] of the dead [04191] upon his inheritance [05159].
6 And the kinsman [01350] said [0559], I cannot [03201] redeem [01350] it for myself, lest I mar [07843] mine own inheritance [05159]: redeem [01350] thou my right [01353] to thyself; for I cannot [03201] redeem [01350] it.
15 And [2532] deliver [525] them [5128] who [3745] through [1223] fear [5401] of death [2288] were [2258] all [3956] their lifetime [2198] subject [1777] to bondage [1397].
14 Forasmuch [1893] then [3767] as the children [3813] are partakers [2841] of flesh [4561] and [2532] blood [129], he [3348] also [2532] himself [846] likewise [3898] took part [3348] of the same [846]; that [2443] through [1223] death [2288] he might destroy [2673] him that had [2192] the power [2904] of death [2288], that is [5123], the devil [1228];
4 But [1161] when [3753] the fulness [4138] of the time [5550] was come [2064], God [2316] sent forth [1821] his [846] Son [5207], made [1096] of [1537] a woman [1135], made [1096] under [5259] the law [3551],
13 Tarry [03885] this night [03915], and it shall be in the morning [01242], that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman [01350], well [02896]; let him do the kinsman's part [01350]: but if he will [02654] not do the part of a kinsman [01350] to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman [01350] to thee, as the LORD [03068] liveth [02416]: lie down [07901] until the morning [01242].
12 And now it is true [0551] that I am thy near kinsman [01350]: howbeit there is [03426] a kinsman [01350] nearer [07138] than I.
49 Either his uncle [01730], or his uncle's [01730] son [01121], may redeem [01350] him, or any that is nigh [07607] of kin [01320] unto him of his family [04940] may redeem [01350] him; or if he be able [05381], he may redeem [01350] himself [03027].
48 After [0310] that he is sold [04376] he may be redeemed again [01353]; one [0259] of his brethren [0251] may redeem [01350] him:
14 Which [3739] is [2076] the earnest [728] of our [2257] inheritance [2817] until [1519] the redemption [629] of the purchased possession [4047], unto [1519] the praise [1868] of his [846] glory [1391].
11 In [1722] whom [3739] also [2532] we have obtained an inheritance [2820], being predestinated [4309] according to [2596] the purpose [4286] of him who worketh [1754] all things [3956] after [2596] the counsel [1012] of his own [846] will [2307]:
7 In [1722] whom [3739] we have [2192] redemption [629] through [1223] his [846] blood [129], the forgiveness [859] of sins [3900], according [2596] to the riches [4149] of his [846] grace [5485];
5 To [2443] redeem [1805] them that were under [5259] the law [3551], that [2443] we might receive [618] the adoption of sons [5206].
25 If thy brother [0251] be waxen poor [04134], and hath sold [04376] away some of his possession [0272], and if any of his kin [07138] come [0935] to redeem [01350] it, then shall he redeem [01350] that which his brother [0251] sold [04465].
48 After [0310] that he is sold [04376] he may be redeemed again [01353]; one [0259] of his brethren [0251] may redeem [01350] him:
26 And [2532] so [3779] all [3956] Israel [2474] shall be saved [4982]: as [2531] it is written [1125], There shall come [2240] out of [1537] Sion [4622] the Deliverer [4506], and [2532] shall turn away [654] ungodliness [763] from [575] Jacob [2384]:
26 And [2532] so [3779] all [3956] Israel [2474] shall be saved [4982]: as [2531] it is written [1125], There shall come [2240] out of [1537] Sion [4622] the Deliverer [4506], and [2532] shall turn away [654] ungodliness [763] from [575] Jacob [2384]:
