Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 37:30

_ _ Addressed to Hezekiah.

_ _ sign — a token which, when fulfilled, would assure him of the truth of the whole prophecy as to the enemy’s overthrow. The two years, in which they were sustained by the spontaneous growth of the earth, were the two in which Judea had been already ravaged by Sennacherib (Isaiah 32:10). Thus translate: “Ye did eat (the first year) such as groweth of itself, and in the second year that ... but in this third year sow ye,” etc., for in this year the land shall be delivered from the foe. The fact that Sennacherib moved his camp away immediately after shows that the first two years refer to the past, not to the future [Rosenmuller]. Others, referring the first two years to the future, get over the difficulty of Sennacherib’s speedy departure, by supposing that year to have been the sabbatical year, and the second year the jubilee; no indication of this appears in the context.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 37:30

And this [shall be] a (y) sign to thee, Ye shall eat

[this] year such as groweth of itself; and the (z) second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

(y) God gives signs after two sorts: some go before the thing as the signs that Moses worked in Egypt, which were for the confirmation of their faith, and some go after the thing, as the sacrifice, which they were commanded to make three days after their departure: and these latter are to keep the blessings of God in our remembrance, of which sort this here is.

(z) He promises that for two years the ground would feed them of itself.
