glory--that is, the trees which adorned Lebanon; emblem of men eminent in natural gifts, devoting all that is in them to the God of Israel (Hos 14:5-6).
fir . . . pine . . . box--rather, "the cypress . . . ilex . . . cedar."
place of my sanctuary--Jerusalem (Jer 3:17).
place of my feet--no longer the ark (Jer 3:16), "the footstool" of Jehovah (Psa 99:5; Psa 132:7; Ch1 28:2); but "the place of His throne, the place of the soles of His feet, where He will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever," in the new temple (Eze 43:7). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The glory of Lebanon - The 'glory of Lebanon,' here means the trees that grew on Lebanon (see the notes at Isa 35:2).
Shall come unto thee - That is, thy beauty and glory will be as great as if those valuable trees were brought and planted around the temple.
The fir-tree - (See the notes at Isa 41:19; Isa 55:13).
The box - (See also the notes at Isa 41:19).
To beautify the place of my sanctuary - The site of the temple, as if they were planted around it, and as if the magnificence of Lebanon was transferred there at once. The idea is, that the most valuable and glorious objects in distant nations would be consecrated to the service of the true God.
And I will make the place of my feet glorious - Lowth renders this, 'I will glorify the place whereon I rest my feet;' and he supposes thai the ark is meant as the place on which God rested his feet as a footstool. In support of this, he appeals to Psa 99:5, 'Worship at his footstool;' and Ch1 28:2. So Rosenmuller understands it, and appeals further to Psa 132:7. Doubtless the main idea is, that the temple was regarded as the sacred dwelling-place of God - and that he means to say, that every place in his temple, even where, to keep up the figure, he rested his feet when he sat on the throne, would be filled with magnificence and glory. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| From the thought that everything great in the world of man is to be made to serve the Holy One and His church, the prophet passes to what is great in the world of nature. "The glory of Lebanon will come to thee, cypresses, plane-trees and Sherbin-trees all together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary, and to make the place of my feet glorious." The splendid cedars, which are the glory of Lebanon, and in fact the finest trees of all kinds, will be brought to Zion, not as trunks felled to be used as building materials, but dug up with their roots, to ornament the holy place of the temple (Jer 17:12), and also to this end, that Jehovah may glorify the "holy place of His feet," i.e., the place where He, who towers above the heaven of all heavens, has as it were to place His feet. The temple is frequently called His footstool (hadōm raglâiv), with especial reference to the ark of the covenant (Psa 99:5; Psa 132:7; Lam 2:1; Ch1 28:2) as being the central point of the earthly presence of God (cf., Isa 66:1). The trees, that is to say, which tower in regal glory above all the rest of the vegetable world, are to adorn the environs of the temple, so that avenues of cedars and plane-trees lead into it; a proof that there is no more fear of any further falling away to idolatry. On the names of the trees, see Isa 41:19. Three kinds are mentioned here; we found seven there. The words יחדו ותשׁור תדהר ברושׁ are repeated verbatim from Isa 41:19. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| The glory - The box, the fir, the pine, and the cedar, on account whereof Lebanon was so famous; kings and great ones, the glory of the world, and also persons of a lower rank, shall be the materials, and members of Christ's church. To beautify - This is the reason and end why the glory of Lebanon is to be brought hither; by these trees understand the beauty, and nobility of the church. Sanctuary - The temple wherein was the sanctuary. The place of my feet - The ark, so called, because, supposing God after the manner of men, to sit between the wings of the cherubim, his feet would rest upon the ark. All this is made good in the gospel - church. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
And I will make the place of my feet glorious "And that I may glorify the place whereon I rest my feet" - The temple of Jerusalem was called the house of God, and the place of his rest or residence. The visible symbolical appearance of God, called by the Jews the schechinah, was in the most holy place, between the wings of the cherubim, above the ark. This is considered as the throne of God, presiding as King over the Jewish state; and as a footstool is a necessary appendage to a throne, (see note on Isa 52:2 (note)), the ark is considered as the footstool of God, and is so called, Psa 99:6; Ch1 28:2.
The glory of Lebanon - That is, the cedar. |
7 And he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], the place [04725] of my throne [03678], and the place [04725] of the soles [03709] of my feet [07272], where I will dwell [07931] in the midst [08432] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] for ever [05769], and my holy [06944] name [08034], shall the house [01004] of Israel [03478] no more defile [02930], neither they, nor their kings [04428], by their whoredom [02184], nor by the carcases [06297] of their kings [04428] in their high places [01116].
2 Then David [01732] the king [04428] stood up [06965] upon his feet [07272], and said [0559], Hear [08085] me, my brethren [0251], and my people [05971]: As for me, I had in mine heart [03824] to build [01129] an house [01004] of rest [04496] for the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068], and for the footstool [01916] [07272] of our God [0430], and had made ready [03559] for the building [01129]:
7 We will go [0935] into his tabernacles [04908]: we will worship [07812] at his footstool [01916] [07272].
5 Exalt [07311] ye the LORD [03068] our God [0430], and worship [07812] at his footstool [07272] [01916]; for he is holy [06918].
16 And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied [07235] and increased [06509] in the land [0776], in those days [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], they shall say [0559] no more, The ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068]: neither shall it come [05927] to mind [03820]: neither shall they remember [02142] it; neither shall they visit [06485] it; neither shall that be done [06213] any more.
17 At that time [06256] they shall call [07121] Jerusalem [03389] the throne [03678] of the LORD [03068]; and all the nations [01471] shall be gathered [06960] unto it, to the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], to Jerusalem [03389]: neither shall they walk [03212] any more after [0310] the imagination [08307] of their evil [07451] heart [03820].
5 I will be as the dew [02919] unto Israel [03478]: he shall grow [06524] as the lily [07799], and cast forth [05221] his roots [08328] as Lebanon [03844].
6 His branches [03127] shall spread [03212], and his beauty [01935] shall be as the olive tree [02132], and his smell [07381] as Lebanon [03844].
7 We will go [0935] into his tabernacles [04908]: we will worship [07812] at his footstool [01916] [07272].

13 Instead of the thorn [05285] shall come up [05927] the fir tree [01265], and instead of the brier [05636] shall come up [05927] the myrtle tree [01918]: and it shall be to the LORD [03068] for a name [08034], for an everlasting [05769] sign [0226] that shall not be cut off [03772].
19 I will plant [05414] in the wilderness [04057] the cedar [0730], the shittah tree [07848], and the myrtle [01918], and the oil [08081] tree [06086]; I will set [07760] in the desert [06160] the fir tree [01265], and the pine [08410], and the box tree [08391] together [03162]:
2 It shall blossom [06524] abundantly [06524], and rejoice [01523] even with joy [01525] and singing [07444]: the glory [03519] of Lebanon [03844] shall be given [05414] unto it, the excellency [01926] of Carmel [03760] and Sharon [08289], they shall see [07200] the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068], and the excellency [01926] of our God [0430].
19 I will plant [05414] in the wilderness [04057] the cedar [0730], the shittah tree [07848], and the myrtle [01918], and the oil [08081] tree [06086]; I will set [07760] in the desert [06160] the fir tree [01265], and the pine [08410], and the box tree [08391] together [03162]:

1 How hath the Lord [0136] covered [05743] the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726] with a cloud [05743] in his anger [0639], and cast down [07993] from heaven [08064] unto the earth [0776] the beauty [08597] of Israel [03478], and remembered [02142] not his footstool [01916] [07272] in the day [03117] of his anger [0639]!

2 Shake [05287] thyself from the dust [06083]; arise [06965], and sit down [03427], O Jerusalem [03389]: loose [06605] thyself from the bands [04147] of thy neck [06677], O captive [07628] daughter [01323] of Zion [06726].
