Isaiah 49:20
_ _ children ... after ... other — rather, “the children of thy widowhood,” that is, the children of whom thou hast been bereft during their dispersion in other lands (see on Isaiah 47:8) [Maurer].
_ _ again — rather, “yet.”
_ _ give place — rather, “stand close to me,” namely, in order that we may be the more able to dwell in the narrow place [Horsley]. Compare as to Israel’s spiritual children, and the extension of the gospel sphere, Romans 15:19, Romans 15:24; 2 Corinthians 10:14-16. But Isaiah 49:22 (compare Isaiah 66:20) shows that her literal children are primarily meant. Gesenius translates, “Make room.” |
