Isaiah 56:2
_ _ (Luke 12:43).
_ _ the man — Hebrew, enosh, “a man in humble life,” in contradistinction to Hebrew, ish, “one of high rank.” Even the humblest, as “the stranger” and “the eunuch” (Isaiah 56:4, Isaiah 56:6), are admissible to these privileges.
_ _ this ... it — what follows: “keeping the Sabbath,” etc. (Isaiah 58:13, Isaiah 58:14; Ezekiel 20:12). A proof that the Sabbath, in the spirit of its obligation, was to be binding under the Gospel (Isaiah 66:23). That gospel times are referred to is plain, from the blessing not being pronounced on the man who observed the sacrificial ritual of the Jewish law.
_ _ layeth hold — image from one grasping firmly some precious object which he is afraid of having forcibly snatched from him. The “Sabbath” here includes all the ordinances of divine worship under the new gospel law.
_ _ keepeth ... hand ... from ... evil — The observance of the second table of the law; as the “Sabbath” referred to the first table. Together, they form the whole duty of man, the worship of God and a holy life. |
Isaiah 56:2
The man — Every man not only Jews but Gentiles, as it is explained in the following verses. The sabbath — The sabbath seems to be put here, as sacrifice is elsewhere, for the whole worship of God. |

Blessed [is] the man [that] doeth this, and the son of man [that] layeth hold on it; that keepeth the (c) sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
